Abstract
This paper presents design, implementation and experimental results of active vibration control of Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) space truss using a piezoelectric ceramic stack actuator. The NPS space truss represents a flexible spacecraft structure that may support interferometer, antenna and other vibration-sensitive instrumentation. To simulate the effects of a spacecraft disturbance on the truss, a proof mass actuator is incorporated on the structure to excite the truss. To reduce the vibrations caused by the proof mass actuator, an active strut member is installed along a diagonal of the base bay of the truss. The active strut element consists of a piezoelectric ceramic actuator stack, a force transducer and mechanical interfaces. An integral plus double-integral force controller is designed to suppress vibration of the truss. Experimental results demonstrate that the active piezoceramic strut actuator can effectively reduce truss vibration.
