Abstract
In this study, a novel damping system for microgravity experiments using an airplane has been proposed. This system is constructed of the Non-Linear Passive Damper (NLPD) and the shock absorber, and it does not consume any electric power. This system has been developed for making non-forced field. Because many experiment results and numerical simulations under the microgravity condition were reported that the residual acceleration and g-jitter influence the experiment using the fluid. In this research, crystal growth experiment was performed to obtain the observation about the influence of g-jitter. The results show that the effect of g-jitter was appeared in the crystal growth rate.
