Abstract:
1. A method of estimating dynamics of a structural system, comprising: interconnecting a plurality of subsystems together as a housing subsystem, each of the plurality of subsystems including a rotating member; mounting the housing subsystem on an isolation subsystem at one or more degrees of freedom for isolating the housing subsystem from a surface subsystem; determining one or more transfer functions of interest for the housing subsystem mounted on the isolation subsystem at a plurality of degrees of freedom; creating a control force transfer function based on the determining of the one or more transfer functions of interest, the control force transfer function determining a control force applied to the rotating member; and wherein the mounting of the housing subsystem on an isolation subsystem at a plurality of degrees of freedom for isolating the housing subsystem from a surface subsystem further comprises mounting the housing subsystem on a hexapod of vibration damping and isolation apparatus that is connected to the surface subsystem.
