Optimal distribution of the cable tensions and structural vibration control of the cable-cabin flexible structure

Abstract
    In order to trace a target in deep sky. a feed cabin 20 tons in weight used for a large radio telescope is drawn with six cables. To realize a smooth tracing all the time, optimal distribution of the cable tensions is explored. A set of cable-clog systems is utilized to control the wind-induced vibration of the cable-cabin structure. This is an attempt to apply the passive structural control strategy in the area of radio astronomy. Simulations of wind-induced vibration of the structure in both time and frequency domains offer a valuable reference for construction of the next generation large radio telescope.
