Such targets can be known or unknown, cooperative or uncooperative, and pose significant challenges in modern space operations due to their inherent complexity and unpredictability. Successfully servicing space objects is vital for active debris removal and broader on-orbit servicing tasks such as satellite maintenance, repair, refueling, orbital assembly, and construction. Significant effort has been invested in the literature to explore the servicing of targets using a single spacecraft. Given its advantages and benefits, this paper expands the discussion to encompass a swarm approach to the problem. This review covers various single-spacecraft approaches and presents a critical examination of the existing, although limited, body of work dedicated to servicing orbital objects using multiple spacecraft. The focus is also broadened to include some influential studies concerning the characterization, capture, and manipulation of physical objects by general multiagent systems, a subject with significant parallels to the core interest of this manuscript. Furthermore, this article also delves into the realm of simultaneous localization and mapping, highlighting its application within close-proximity operations in space, especially when dealing with unknown uncooperative targets. Special attention is paid to the benefits that this field can receive from distributed multiagent architectures. Finally, an exploration of the promising field of swarm robotics is presented, with an emphasis on its potential to revolutionize the servicing of orbital target objects. Concurrently, a survey of general research directly engaging swarms in the orbital context is conducted. This review aims to bridge the knowledge gap and stimulate further research in the underexplored domain of servicing space targets with spacecraft swarms.</p>","PeriodicalId":60486,"journal":{"name":"国际机械系统动力学学报(英文)","volume":"4 1","pages":"3-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msd2.12098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140165345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the transfer matrix method is enabled for analysis of both the kinetostatics and dynamics of general serial–parallel compliant mechanisms without deriving laborious formulas or combining other modeling methods. Consequently, serial–parallel compliant mechanisms with curved flexure hinges/beams can be modeled in a straightforward manner based on a single transfer matrix of Timoshenko straight beams using a step-by-step procedure. Theoretical and numerical validations on two customized XY nanopositioners comprised of straight and corrugated flexure units confirm the concise modeling process and high prediction accuracy of the presented approach.

In contrast, data-driven techniques have emerged as an attractive alternative for tasks such as prediction and complex system analysis. To exploit the advantages of data-driven models, this study introduces a novel convolutional enhanced transformer model for tool-tip vibration prediction, referred to as CeT-TV. The effectiveness of this model is demonstrated through its successful application in ultra-precision fly-cutting (UPFC) operations. Two distinct variants of the model, namely, guided and nonguided CeT-TV, were developed and rigorously tested on a data set custom-tailored for UPFC applications. The results reveal that the guided CeT-TV model exhibits outstanding performance, characterized by the lowest mean absolute error and root mean square error values.

One such external disturbance is the inclination of the supporting track of the crane trolley, which causes the system dynamics model to change. An open-loop control strategy is widely utilized to control the payload sway motion and generally does not require any alterations in the physical structure of a system or the installation of sensors and/or actuators. Input and command shaping are two common open-loop control techniques applied to control overhead cranes. In this paper, the effect of moving an overhead crane system along an inclined supporting track is investigated. In addition, the ability of different types of input- and command-shaping control schemes to suppress the residual vibrations due to trolley track inclination is demonstrated. Two types of input-shaping controllers, which are double-step, zero vibration, and one command waveform (WF) shaper based on a trigonometric function, are used and tested. A linear equation of motion of the overhead crane resting on an inclined surface is developed to simulate the overhead crane and payload motion. The effectiveness of the different types of open-loop controllers to suppress residual vibrations is verified by both simulation and experimental results. In addition, a new WF command shaper is proposed and designed to overcome track inclination while eliminating payload residual vibration. A comprehensive comparative analysis, both numerically and experimentally, is performed on the new proposed shaper to measure its effectiveness in handling inclination when compared to other types of open-loop controllers. The new shaper outperforms other controllers in eliminating payload residual vibration for a wider range of inclination angles.</p>","PeriodicalId":60486,"journal":{"name":"国际机械系统动力学学报(英文)","volume":"4 1","pages":"22-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msd2.12095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139770806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration suppression is achieved by attaching properly tuned vibration absorbers to enforce nodes, or points of zero vibration, along the beam. An efficient hybrid method is proposed whereby the finite element method is used to model the nonuniform beams, and a formulation based on the assumed modes method is used to determine the required attachment force supplied by each absorber to induce the desired nodes. Knowing the attachment forces needed to induce nodes, design plots are generated for the absorber parameters as a function of the tolerable vibration amplitude for each absorber mass. When the node locations are judiciously chosen, it is possible to dramatically suppress the vibration along a selected region of the beam. As such, sensitive instruments can be placed in this region and will remain nearly stationary.
