Abstract :
Enhancement of modal damping in large sparce structures (LSS) is highly desirable and sometimes essential for the stability of the primary attitude control system. This paper considers the use of a number of Annular Momentum Control Devices (AMCD´s) for damping enhancement in LSS. It is proved that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability are also obtained.
