摘要

Gossamer space structures technology have gained widely applications in space missions. However, the vibration problem is a great challenge which makes the technology complicated. The overall motivation of this work is to develop a vibration control system for gossamer space structures. In this study, a space membrane structure with piezoelectric stack actuators bracketed on its support frame is considered. First, the description of the smart space membrane structure and its dynamic model are presented. Then, a decentralized adaptive fuzzy control method is developed to control the structure vibration. Finally, experimental system is built up, and two vibration control experiment cases are carried out to verify the proposed control method. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control method is more effective than the fuzzy control method.
