Active Vibration Control during Deployment of Space Structures
Abstract
Active vibration control during deployment of the NASA Solar Array Flight Experiment (SAFE) structure is considered in this study. The equations of motion of the SAFE structure are derived using Hamilton's principle. The approach to damp out the deployment-induced vibration is to use a force actuator located at the tip of the structure. Two different control strategies are investigated. In the first, the deployment-induced vibration is actively controlled from 70% to 100% deployment. In the second, the force actuator is turned on for a short period of time when the deployment reaches 70% and 100%. Both strategies make use of the linear regulator theory with a prescribed degree of stability. Simulated results presented show that both strategies damp out the deployment-induced vibration effectively. However, the second control system is simpler to design and implement and is, therefore, a more practical choice.
