Abstract:Ground simulation of space quasi-zero gravity environment is essential in modal testing of space structures. The air flotation method is widely used, in which the air cushion unit is attached to the measured structure. This inevitably increases the total mass of the structure to be tested and leads to the incorrect prediction of modal parameters. And irregular airflow disturbances of the air cushion unit also have negative effects on the test. The fast elimination method is presented to remove the adverse impa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
