title = "Control of the continuum model of a large flexible space structure",
abstract = "An analytical approach is presented here to develop a continuum model of a space radar antenna and the truss structure for the purpose of the control and vibration suppression. Kinetic and potential energy expressions are given for the equivalent homogenized 1-D model. Hamilton's principle is applied to find the governing partial differential equations for this structure. The equations for bending are similar to an extended Timoshenko beam model. A Linear, Quadratic, Regulator (LQR) problem is solved to find the optimal solution for feedback control design of the distributed parameter model. The control force designed this way is applied to a Finite Element Model (FEM) of the truss structure for the purpose of validation. Results from the FEM are shown to be in good agreement with the distributed parameter model.",
