Lin and Sameer Abdali}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Computer simulations were performed using MATLAB/Simulink for a vibration isolation system for astronaut’s exercise platform. Simulation parameters initially were based on an on-going experiment in a laboratory at NASA Johnson Space Center. The authors expanded later simulations to include other parameters. A discrete proportional-integral-derivative controller with a low-pass filter commanding a linear actuator served as the active control unit to push and pull a counterweight in balancing the disturbance forces. A spring-damper device is used as an optional passive control unit. Simulation results indicated such design could achieve near complete vibration isolation with small displacements of the exercise platform.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {15}, number = {2}, year = {2021}, pages = {107 - 112}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011859}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/170}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 170, 2021}, }
