Lyapunov stability, semistability, and asymptotic stability of matrix second-order systems

Abstract: Necessary and sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stability, semistability and asymptotic stability of matrix second-order systems are given in terms of the coefficient matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stability and instability in the absence of viscous damping are also given. These are used to derive several known stability and instability criteria as well as a few new ones. In addition, examples are given to illustrate the stability conditions.

Control of a Space Rigidizable Inflatable Boom Using Macro-fiber Composite Actuators:

Abstract: An experimental investigation of vibration testing and active control of a space rigidizable inflatable composite boom containing embedded piezoelectric composite actuators was conducted. Inflatable deployable space structures offer reduced mass, higher packaging efficiency, lower life cycle cost, simpler design with fewer parts, and higher deployment reliability for many large deployable spacecraft structures applications. Enhancing deployed precision and repeatability for these structures is an ongoing research area, in particular for rigidizable inflatable material systems. In this study, in situ vibration testing and active damping using piezoelectric macro-fiber composite actuators embedded within a typical space-rigidizable deployable composite boom are investigated The embedded macro-fiber composites are shown to be capable of surviving integration, packaging, deployment and thermal rigidization in vacuum, and subsequently operating at their full actuation capability.
