"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. Damping (Mechanics) Mathematical models.
