The control of flexible structure vibrations using a cantilevered adaptive trussAnalytical and experimental procedures and design tools are presented for the control of flexible structure vibrations using a cantilevered adaptive truss. Simulated and experimental data are examined for three types of structures: a slender beam, a single curved beam, and two curved beams. The adaptive truss is shown to produce a 6,000-percent increase in damping, demonstrating its potential in vibration control. Good agreement is obtained between the simulated and experimental data, thus validating the modeling methods.
