Abstract :
The problem of multiple passive damping of large flexible space structures is addressed by reformulating the classical Den Hartog absorber problem as a feedback control problem. With this reformulation recent alogorithms developed for H¿ control problems can be applied to determine the optimal tuning of the damping devices. Extensions to multiple degree of freedom systems are straight forward.
