Description
Summary:Techniques for designed-in passive damping for space structures are reviewed. Although the main topic is passive damping using viscoelastic materials, other methods are discussed and compared. The testing and characterization of viscoelastic materials and design methods for passive damping are discussed. An example showing the benefits of a passive damping treatment for an actual space structure is presented.
