Aiming to address the challenging issues of multiscale coupled dynamics modeling and control for flexible bodies during the spin deployment of space membrane antennas, a hybrid modeling approach and attitude decoupling control strategy was proposed herein. A hybrid element dynamic model integrating membrane and hollow support rods was developed using thin plate elements and circular cross-section beam elements based on ANCF. Nonlinear constitutive relations were introduced to characterize the tensioned-relaxed state transitions of space membrane antennas during deployment. By leveraging ANCF's capability to describe flexible body deformation and rigid body rotation simultaneously, polar decomposition was performed on the gradient matrices of selected nodal position vectors to extract attitude information. A proportional-derivative (PD) torque control scheme was subsequently implemented based on the derived posture parameters. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed dynamics modeling and control methodologies may achieve asymptotic convergence of attitude tracking errors effectively.
