DYNAMIC AND ACTIVE CONTROL OF LARGE FLEXIBLE SPACE TRUSS: A REVIEW

Large flexiblespace truss (LFST) may be classified according to its applications in spaceindustry. This paper reviews several kinds of LFST (including truss type space station, supporttruss of payload, support truss of mesh reflector antenna, ring tensiontruss, variable geometry truss), their dynamic modeling, active membermodeling, and active control theory and experiment. In the end, some future research topics on dynamic modeling and active control of LFST are pointed out.
