1. Vibration Control, Noise Control, Shock Control of Space Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have developed vibration control, acoustic control, and shock control for space structures such as space stations, lunar bases, and artificial satellites. In space, sufficient of power supply is not expected. Thus, an innovative method is required to suppress structural vibration using a self-powered control device. Our laboratory focuses on a truss structure that forms a structural member for next-generation space stations. We have installed a truss structure in our laboratory, which is employed for proof experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Energy-Harvesting Using Smart Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We cannot solely rely on solar power generation on the moon because night time occurs for up to 14 days. Therefore, energy harvesting from vibration sources should be explored. We are developing an energy harvester that is utilized not only in space structures but also vehicles such as airplanes and automobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Experiments for Space-Debris Impacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The impact of space debris and meteorites is a serious issue for space structures. We have implemented measures to mitigate hypervelocity impact in collaboration with JAXA. We are investigating the use of a conductive tether system for debris removal. We are conducting research on the durability of inflatable structures, which are attracting attention as space structures, against space debris collisions and meteorite collisions, from the viewpoint of experimental verification using large impact experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Tensegrity for Space Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are creating a new space structure using the ultra-lightweight variable structure “tensegrity” composed of rods and threads. Tensegrity is a next-generation structure with high strength, light weight, impact resistance, and high storage capacity It is expected to be used as a lunar base, a Mars base, and a planetary probe. Our laboratory is working on the realization of the tensegrity space structure from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Structural Health Monitoring of Space Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are undertaking the challenge of monitoring the health status of operational aerospace vehicles in space or airborne. Vibration-based structural health monitoring is one inspection method that relies on data analysis rather than human intervention. It is an economical approach, eliminating the need for aircraft to return to base or for inspection by astronauts or technicians. However, wiring vibration sensors and securing power to operate them on aerospace vehicles is extremely difficult. Our laboratory proposes a structural health monitoring technique using functional materials (smart materials) that requires neither sensors nor power sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
