A Study on Piezoelectric Actuators and Sensors for Vibration Control of Flexible Space Structures
Abstract
This thesis details the procedure for applying piezoelectric ceramic material to the Naval Postgraduate School's Flexible Spacecraft Simulator (FSS) for the purpose of active damping control. A step by step procedure to properly mount and test piezoelectric ceramic actuators and sensors is developed followed by performance demonstration by two control laws: Positive Position Feedback (PPF), and Proportional Derivative (PD). A digital controller for PD control is also developed.
