Dynamic range implications for the effectiveness of semi-active tuned mass dampers
… solution is the implementation of a tuned mass damper (TMD), which acts as a passive damping device in the region of the tuned frequency. However, TMDs exhibit a limited bandwidth and often require a significant mass. Active systems, such as the active mass driver, have been utilized to …

Asteroid hazard mitigation: deflection models and mission analysis
… kinetic impactor, low-thrust propulsion, mass driver, solar collector and gravity tug are developed and their efficiency is assessed for a complete set of different types of hazardous celestial objects. A multi-criteria optimization is then used to construct a set of Pareto-optimal …

Analysis of the Mechanically Choked Ram Accelerator
… respectively. This was in spite of increased mass accrued from the tail sections. The mode showed difficulty in starting in the first baffled tube when entering below 900 ms and showed consistent structuralfailure between 1150 - 1200 ms . Due to system limitations, these results were only …
