On orbit damage assessment for large space structures

Abstract

The need for monitoring the dynamic characteristics of large structural systems, for the purpose of assessing the potential degradation of structural properties, has been established. This paper develops a theory for assessing the occurrence, location, and extent of potential damage utilizing on-orbit response measurements. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated using a simple structural system as an example.
