... of the paper is experimental testing and identification of stand-alone inerter devices as well as the study of practical issues involved in their feedback control using standard hydraulic damper test rigs. Two contrasting inerter embodiments are studied, one in which a flywheel is driven by a rack-and-pinion...

...Junyoung Park; Alan Palazzolo; Raymond Beach Theory and simulation results have demonstrated that four, variable speed flywheels could potentially provide the energy storage and attitude control functions of existing batteries and control moment gyros on a satellite. Past modeling and control...
