This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A typical engineering task during the development of any system is, among others, to improve its performance in terms of cost and response. Improvements can be achieved either by simply using design rules based on the experience or in an automated way by using optimization methods that lead to optimum designs. Design Optimization of Active and Passive Structural Control Systems includes Earthquake Engineering and Tuned Mass Damper research topics into a volume taking advantage of the connecting link between them, which is optimization. This is a publication addressing the design optimization of active and passive control systems. This title is perfect for engineers, professionals, professors, and students alike, providing cutting edge research and applications.
Download or read book Adaptronics and Smart Structures written by Hartmut Janocha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptronics is the term encompassing technical fields that have become known internationally under the names "smart materials", "intelligent structures", and "smart structures". Adaptronics contributes to the optimisation of systems and products. It bridges the gap between material and system or product, and incorporates the search for multi-functional materials and elements and their integration in systems or structures. The authors of this book have taken on the task of displaying the current state of the art in this fascinating field. The system components, actuators, sensors and controllers, technical fundamentals, materials, design rules and practical solutions are all described. Selected sample applications are also presented and current development trends are demonstrated.
Download or read book Fabrication and Control of Multilayered Superlattice Smart Structures written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report outlines some of the structural identification and robust control methods developed for smart structural systems. A simple procedure for the shape optimization of distributed sensors is developed. The outputs of these spatially distributed sensors are utilized for the implementation of optimal controllers on the smart structural systems. A structural identification technique is developed by utilizing the multiple parametric measurements provided by the shaped PVDF film sensors. This method generates a minimal state variable representation of the structural system. The outputs of the state variable model are measured by using the distributed sensors. A variety of robust controllers were designed and implemented on the smart structural systems. In this study we have investigated the design of robust controllers by incorporating the performance requirements, robustness against the system uncertainties and the control effort constraints. The robustness properties of the controllers have been verified experimentally.
