Book Optimal Placement of Actuators in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Shell Structures Using Genetic Algorithm

Download or read book Optimal Placement of Actuators in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Shell Structures Using Genetic Algorithm written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active vibration control of smart FRP composite structures finds use in high performance structures especially in light weight composite structures. Proper implementation of such smart structure systems demands complete understanding of their responses, optimal placement of sensors and actuators, and design of an appropriate control system. In the present work, an improved genetic algorithm (GA) based optimal collocated sensors and actuators of smart fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite shell structures has been presented. Layered shell finite elements have been formulated and the formulation has been validated for coupled electromechanical analysis of curved smart FRP composite structures having piezoelectric sensors and actuators patches. Modal analysis has been performed to transfer the coupled finite element equation to state space equation. An integer-coded GA-based open-loop procedure has been implemented for optimal placement of actuators for maximizing controllability index. This type of GA with uniform crossover and mutation technique has been developed to efficiently search for optimal locations of sensors/actuators. In this project, we have used integer coded GA to find optimal placement of actuators on spherical shell structures and semi-circular ring.

Book Optimization of Structural and Mechanical Systems

Download or read book Optimization of Structural and Mechanical Systems written by Jasbir S. Arora and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a discussion of the general impact of WTO membership on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and addresses the political and economic impact on cross-Strait relations of common membership. The book begins with an introduction which analyzes the state of cross-Strait economic and political relations on the eve of dual accession to the WTO and briefly introduces the chapters which follow. The first chapter discusses the concessions made by both sides in their accession agreements and is followed by two chapters which describe the manner in which the Taiwan economy was reformed to achieve compliance as well as the specific, restrictive trade regime that was put into place to manage mainland trade. The next two chapters deal with the implications of that restrictive trade regime for the Taiwan economy in Asia and with the nature of the interactions between the two sides within the WTO. The final four chapters of the volume examine the impact of membership on four sectors of the economy: finance; agriculture; electronics and automobiles. There is a post-script which briefly covers developments since the chapters were completed.
