Fast Attitude Maneuver of a Flexible Spacecraft with Passive Vibration Control Using Shunted Piezoelectric Transducers by Bassam A. Albassam

“…The control design is based on only the rigid body mode making it very simple to design and at the same time achieve the quickest maneuver possible. The induced vibrations are suppressed using piezoelectric transducers bonded to the appendages and connected to an electric circuit with the objective of converting the vibrational energy to electrical energy and then dissipating it using passive electric elements, such as a resistance and an inductor. …”
