Book Experimental Validation of an Integrated Controls Structures Design Methodology for a Class of Flexible Space Structures

Download or read book Experimental Validation of an Integrated Controls Structures Design Methodology for a Class of Flexible Space Structures written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the first experimental validation of an optimization-based integrated controls-structures design methodology for a class of flexible space structures. The Controls-Structures-Interaction (CSI) Evolutionary Model, a laboratory test bed at Langley, is redesigned based on the integrated design methodology with two different dissipative control strategies. The redesigned structure is fabricated, assembled in the laboratory, and experimentally compared with the original test structure. Design guides are proposed and used in the integrated design process to ensure that the resulting structure can be fabricated. Experimental results indicate that the integrated design requires greater than 60 percent less average control power (by thruster actuators) than the conventional control-optimized design while maintaining the required line-of-sight performance, thereby confirming the analytical findings about the superiority of the integrated design methodology. Amenability of the integrated design structure to other control strategies is considered and evaluated analytically and experimentally. This work also demonstrates the capabilities of the Langley-developed design tool CSI DESIGN which provides a unified environment for structural and control design.

Book Integrated Controls Structures Design Methodology

Download or read book Integrated Controls Structures Design Methodology written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-20 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An optimization-based integrated controls-structures design methodology for a class of flexible space structures is described, and the phase-0 Controls-Structures-Integration evolutionary model, a laboratory testbed at NASA Langley, is redesigned using this integrated design methodology. The integrated controls-structures design is posed as a nonlinear programming problem to minimize the control effort required to maintain a specified line-of-sight pointing performance, under persistent white noise disturbance. Static and dynamic dissipative control strategies are employed for feedback control, and parameters of these controllers are considered as the control design variables. Sizes of strut elements in various sections of the CEM are used as the structural design variables. Design guides for the struts are developed and employed in the integrated design process, to ensure that the redesigned structure can be effectively fabricated. The superiority of the integrated design methodology over the conventional design approach is demonstrated analytically by observing a significant reduction in the average control power needed to maintain specified pointing performance with the integrated design approach.

Book An Integrated  Optimization Based Approach to the Design and Control of Large Space Structures

Download or read book An Integrated Optimization Based Approach to the Design and Control of Large Space Structures written by Elijah Polak and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was aimed at laying the groundwork for a long term project on the integrated, optimization-based design of large, flexible structures and their control systems. Research was carried out in four areas: (1) modeling the dynamic behavior of simple flexible structures; (2) development of a theory of nondifferentiable optimization algorithms for the solution of problems with max function type inequality constraints; (3) exploraton of the use of optimization in optimization-based design of large, flexible structures and their control systems; and (4) interactive software for optimization-based control system design.
