Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with the application of adaptive control to distributed parameter systems (DPS) which arise in the modeling of large space structures (LSS). Distributed parameter and multivariable models for LSS are introduced and the decoupled adaptive control of such models is considered. Possibilities to achieve adaptive control in connection with a more general model are also examined. It is found that, in concept, adaptive control appears to be a natural choice for solving attitude and shape perturbation problems in LSS. However, due to the distributed parameter nature of such structures and the current lack of experience in their control, the problem must be phrased in general terms which are very difficult to deal with. In particular, detailed a priori plant knowledge is currently required so that decoupling and/or reduced order models of sufficient accuracy can be provided.
