deployed configuration to satisfy the requirements of applications. They have been widely …

A literature review is presented for shape control of structures, where special emphasis is
laid upon smart structures with piezoelectric control actuation. In shape control one intends …

This review article presents prior studies on controlling shape and stress in flexible
structures. The study offers a comprehensive survey of literature concerning the adjustment …

This paper considers the active vibration control of cables and cable/structure systems with
an active tendon controlling the axial displacement of the cable anchor point. It is …

Lightweight structures comprise of actual pieces or segments that give the crucial ability to
function while weighing less than other possibilities as well. The aerospace industry …

A large space antenna structure will inevitably vibrate due to the space thermal environment
and maneuver actions of the satellite. Such vibration will last continuously and affect normal …

Traditional shape adjustment methods for large high-precision cable network structures
usually use many actuators and are only applicable to predictable shape distortions. To this …

The mesh reflector antenna is widely used in space satellites for its characteristics of
lightweight, large aperture, high precision, and high stiffness. As the form of mesh surface is …

Cable network antennas are widely used in space missions, and high requirements on the
reflector surface accuracy should be met to achieve reasonable electromagnetic …

Traditional shape and stress control of structures use many actuators and require enormous
time to find reasonable solutions that need designers to input specific target displacement …
