Active Dynamic Analysis and Vibration Control of Gossamer Structures Using Smart Materials
… systems and surfaces. Lightweight, inflatable structures, otherwise known as gossamer structures, are smaller, lighter, and more flexible than current satellite technology. Unfortunately, little research has been performed investigating cost effective and feasible methods of dynamic analysis …

Towards Structural Health Monitoring of Gossamer Structures Using Conductive Polymer Nanocomposite Sensors
… a structural health monitoring algorithm for gossamer structures by using nanocomposites as strain sensors. Any health monitoring system works on the principle of sensing the response (strain, acceleration etc.) of the structure to an external excitation and analyzing the response to find out …

Finite Element Modeling and Active Control of an Inflated Torus Using Piezoelectric Devices
… launch size and mass of satellites, inflatable structures, also known as gossamer structures, are being considered. Inflatable space-based structures are susceptible to vibration disturbance due to their low stiffness and damping. This thesis discusses the structural dynamics and vibration …
