Modal Analysis: Insight and Simplification • The system has symmetries with respect to the x-z, y-z, and x-y planes • Mode shapes are approximately in pairs of symmetric and antisymmetric motions with nearly equal modal frequencies. Mode frequency splitting due to Coriolis ~0.03Hz (if = 3.5 rpm) • The lowest frequency modes involve motion of the rigid-body hab modules and the various point masses • Mostly, the participation of one pair of masses predominates • Tension in cables is statically determinate and the effective modal stiffness is relatively easy to calculate • Special interest: modes involving motion of the hab modules. To prevent motion sickness, we must avoid: • Frequencies from 0.05 to 0.8 Hz, especially 0.167Hz • 8Hz modes
