Flexible cone impact dynamics based on space probe-cone docking mechanism

The theoretical model of docking impact dynamics based on flexible cone is presented according to Föppl-von Kármán’s non-linear differential equations and Hertz contact theory. Finite difference technique is used to solve this theoretical model. Results of the theoretical model show good agreement with the experimental and ANSYS/LS-DYNA simulation results. In addition, the influence of flexible cone parameters on impact process is discussed based on theoretical model systemically.
