Abstract
Actuators play a critical role in active structures technology and, in many cases, they constitute the limiting factor.Two broad categories can be distinguished: ”grounded” and ”structure borne” actuators.The former react on a fixed support; they include torque motors, force motors (electrodynamic shakers) or tendons.The second category, also called ”space realizable”, include jets, reaction wheels, control moment gyros, proof-mass actuators, active members (capable of both structural functions and generating active control forces), piezo strips, etc… Active members and all actuating devices involving only internal, self-equilibrating forces, cannot influence the rigid body motion of the structure.
