Finite Element Modeling and Active Control of an Inflated Torus Using Piezoelectric Devices
Satellite antenna design requirements are driving the satellite size to proportions that cannot be launched into space using current technology. In order to reduce the launch size and mass of satellites, inflatable structures, also known as gossamer structures, are being considered. Inflatable space...
