    Dynamic tests on the NASA Langley CSI evolutionary model (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-02
    Description: A modal analysis study, representing one of the anticipated 'Cooperative Spacecraft Structural Dynamics Experiments on the NASA Langley CSI Evolutionary Model', was carried out as a sub-task under the NASA/DLR collaboration in dynamics and control of large space systems. The CSI evolutionary testbed (CEM) is designed for the development of Controls-Structures Interaction (CSI) technology to improve space science platform pointing. For orbiting space structures like large flexible trusses, new identification challenges arise due to their specific dynamic characteristics (low frequencies and high modal density) on the one hand, and the limited possibilities of exciting such structures and measuring their responses on orbit on the other. The main objective was to investigate the modal identification potential of several different types of forcing functions that could possibly be realized with on-board excitation equipment using a minimum number of exciter locations as well as response locations. These locations were defined in an analytical test prediction process used to study the implications of measuring and analyzing the responses thus produced. It turned out that broadband excitation is needed for a general modal survey, but if only certain modes are of particular interest, combinations of exponentially decaying sine functions provide favorable excitation conditions as they allow to concentrate the available energy on the modes being of special interest. From a practical point-of-view structural nonlinearities as well as noisy measurements make the analysis more difficult, especially in the low frequency range and when the modes are closely spaced.

    Application of the complex cepstrum to the location of acoustic sources near reflective surfaces (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The complex cepstrum is used to correct bearing estimations of acoustic sources in the presence of a reflective surface. An automated liftering procedure is used which zeros out a block portion of the cepstrum including the echo information. The problem of the resulting distortion is alleviated by applying a coherence criterion to the recovered direct signals at each microphone. Thus to a large degree the interactive nature of cepstral processing is overcome for this application. For the test signals and geometries considered the cepstrum is shown to accurately correct for bearing errors in acoustic signals contaminated with reflections from nearby surfaces.

    Bearing detection in the presence of two sources of varying coherence using the complex cepstrum (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The effect of the presence of two acoustic sources (one, the primary, whose location is to be detected) of varying coherence on a cepstral bearing finding procedure is experimentally studied. The coherence between the acoustic sources was altered by adding random noise of various SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) to the input signal of the primary source; the same base signal being fed to both sources. The results demonstrate that, when block liftering is used, the primary source bearing is reliably estimated for coherences as low as gamma sup 2 greater than or approx equal to 0.5. The results also imply that background noise (unreflected) of SNR greater than or approx equal to 10 dB will not markedly affect the accuracy of the bearing estimation algorithm.

    Force prediction using singular-value decomposition (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Results of a preliminary investigation into a method which can be used to improve the results of an experimental force prediction analysis is presented. The method uses a singular value decomposition technique to reduce measurement noise present in the measured input data matrix. The fundamental theory for the method along with an experimental example is shown. The method is shown to provide encouraging force prediction improvements when the input data matrix contains high levels of measurement noise.

    Estimation of distributed acoustic lasers (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary investigation of an indirect method which can be used to generate a set of equivalent point loads approximating an applied distributed acoustic load. The method combines the source information with the structure's modal characteristics and forces which give the same response as the applied acoustic load. The technique is demonstrated by predicting a set of point forces acting on a thin aluminum panel which simulate a normally-incident random pressure. The technique is verified by comparing measured strain autospectrums with estimated strain autospectrums generated using the predicting forces. Strain errors within 5 dB were achieved. A limited amount of information about the acoustic load could be deduced using the predicted force autospectrums and phase differences between these forces.

    The effect of modal truncation on modal modification (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Several investigators have shown that the ability of modal modification routines to accurately predict dynamic structural changes is highly dependent on the completeness of the original modal database of the structure-modal truncation. This paper more closely examines the effects of modal truncation on modal modifications. The results of this study show the modified modal vector to be a weighted linear sum of the original modal vectors. Due to this weighted linear sum process, modal truncation might affect almost any mode in a modification process. Therefore, the quality of a modal modification is not necessarily dependent on the number of modes present in a database, but more importantly on which modes are present.

    A consistent-mode indicator for the eigensystem realization algorithm (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A new method is described for assessing the consistency of structural modal parameters identified with the Eigensystem Realization Algorithm. Identification results show varying consistency in practice due to many sources including high modal density, nonlinearity, and inadequate excitation. Consistency is considered to be a reliable indicator of accuracy. The new method is the culmination of many years of experience in developing a practical implementation of the Eigensystem Realization Algorithm. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated using data from NASA Langley's Controls-Structures-Interaction Evolutionary Model.

    Structural modification utilizing beam elements (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A method for analyzing the effects of sophisticated beam-type structural modifications to a structure with a known modal database is presented. The modification technique integrates the dual modal space modification method with the transfer matrix method to perform general beam modifications. Consideration is given to two examples: one demonstrates the performance of the modification scheme when a severe structural change is made, while the other demonstrates a change to a complex structure.

    The Langley Research Center CSI phase-0 evolutionary model testbed-design and experimental results (1991)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A testbed for the development of Controls Structures Interaction (CSI) technology is described. The design philosophy, capabilities, and early experimental results are presented to introduce some of the ongoing CSI research at NASA-Langley. The testbed, referred to as the Phase 0 version of the CSI Evolutionary model (CEM), is the first stage of model complexity designed to show the benefits of CSI technology and to identify weaknesses in current capabilities. Early closed loop test results have shown non-model based controllers can provide an order of magnitude increase in damping in the first few flexible vibration modes. Model based controllers for higher performance will need to be robust to model uncertainty as verified by System ID tests. Data are presented that show finite element model predictions of frequency differ from those obtained from tests. Plans are also presented for evolution of the CEM to study integrated controller and structure design as well as multiple payload dynamics.
