The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis details the system identification and initial system validation of the an Ultra-Quiet Vibration Isolation Platform (UQP). With the move toward lighter and more flexible spacecraft, the effects of vibration are of immense concern. As natural or passive damping becomes less effective in controlling undesired vibrations, active vibration control becomes essential. The UQP uses a special configuration of the six degree of freedom Stewart Platform with piezoceramic strut actuators and geophone sensors. This combination gives an extremely sensitive and responsive six degree-of-freedom active vibration control system.
