Modeling the Dynamics of the Separation Process of Structures Taking into Account Their Elastic Properties

The paper considers an approach to studying the influence of elastic properties of aerospace structures on their relative motion during separation. Based on the assumptions characteristic of the process under study, a model is developed that allows for a visual mechanical interpretation: the total motion is decomposed during separation into a portable motion (rotational and translational in solid forms) and small elastic relative vibrations described in a universal modal formulation. Recommendations are given that made it possible to almost completely eliminate the problems associated with elastic vibrations during separation.
