title = "High-powered non-linear shock damper using ER fluid",
abstract = "We developed the novel control logic for a shock damper using particledispersion Electro-Rheological (ER) fluid. This is a high-powered means of shock attenuation for satellite instruments that are subjected to lift-off shock or pyrodevice ignition shock. The proposed method attenuates the shock so that the instrument's acceleration does not exceed the critical value, even when the shock is too large to be accepted. In contrast to the conventional linear shock controls, the proposed shock control does not attempt to attenuate a small shock in order to prepare for attenuating a coming large shock.",
