High-Performance Control of Multi-Link Flexible Articulated Space Structures

Abstract

This is the final report for contract AFOSR-89-055-A-C. This contract consisted of an original three year contract and a subsequent six month extension. In this research program, five specific tasks were identified. Research corresponding to the first three tasks has been reported previously, and is not presented in detail in this document. A detailed description of the work performed under Tasks IV and V is given in this final report. Specifically, this document discusses research performed in: (1) developing a total system approach to controlling flexible structures based on distributed sensing/ actuation, and (2) developing a hybrid neural network approach for flexible structure control.
