Hypervelocity Impact Analysis of Hybrid Nanocomposite Sensors for Inflatable Space Structures
<p>Future space exploration requires easy-to-transport, and easy-to-build and deploy space habitats. NASA and Bigelow Aerospace have collaborated so that human habitation can be made safe and easy with inflatable space habitats (Litteken, 2017). One of the biggest threats faced by these structures …

Analysis and Approximation of Viscoelastic and Thermoelastic Joint-Beam Systems
Rigidizable/Inflatable space structures have been the focus of renewed interest in recent years due to efficient packaging for transport. In this work, we examine new mathematical systems used to model small-scale joint dynamics for inflatable space truss structures. We investigate the regularity …

Passive, Self-Healable, Dielectric Elastomers for Structural Health Monitoring
… objects represent a significant danger to inflatable structures. This work seeks to synthesize and fabricate a self-healable, passive, dielectric elastomer impact sensor for structural health monitoring on inflatable space structures subject to impact by micrometeoroids and orbital debris. …

High Frequency Modeling and Experimental Analysis for Implementation of Impedance-based Structural Health Monitoring
… (SHM) method for implementation on real world structures is impedance-based health monitoring. An in-service system is envisioned to include on board processing and perhaps wireless transfer of data. Ideally, a system could be produced as a slap-on or automatically installed addition to a …
