Focus Application: Structurally<br />

Connected TPF<br />

In the previous chapters, three tailoring methodologies are explored and it is shown<br />

through application to a low-fidelity development model that RPTT, <strong>Robust</strong> Per-<br />

formance <strong>Tailoring</strong> for <strong>Tuning</strong>, produces a design <strong>with</strong> the most desirable blend of<br />

nominal performance, robustness to uncertainty and tuning authority. The develop-<br />

ment model is representative of a structurally-connected interferometer but has only<br />

fifteen degrees of freedom and contains only structural elements. In realistic applica-<br />

tions a high-fidelity integrated model is required for design and analysis. Therefore,<br />

in this chapter the design methodologies are applied to an integrated TPF model that<br />

includes a high-fidelity structural component as well as a realistic disturbance model,<br />

vibration isolation and a simple ACS controller. PT, RPT and RPTT designs for a<br />

structurally-connected TPF interferometer (TPF SCI) are obtained, and performance<br />

trends similar to those in the previous chapters are observed. Implementation issues<br />

encountered <strong>with</strong> such a model are identified and addressed.<br />

6.1 Model Description<br />

The TPF SCI model used for the study is an integrated model <strong>with</strong> components built<br />

in MATLAB and NASTRAN and integrated <strong>with</strong> the DOCS (Disturbance Optics<br />
