A quantitative comparison of active and passive damping for large space structures / by Francis Shen.: Co24-3/1-83-063E-PDF

"Damping has increasingly become a major issue in the control of the flexible modes of large space structures (LSS). In the past, the damping problem has been approached using two distinct techniques: active and passive damping, which have almost always been studied independently. It is therefore the intention of this report to present an interdisciplinary approach. A quantitative method for comparing active and passive damping according to weight and positivity criteria is outlined"--Abstract, page iii.
