Adaptive civil engineering structures

摘要: Most civil structures are passive and static. They designed according to serviceability safety requirements. When subjected actions, they generally deflect in a manner. For example, do not adapt actively external loading. A more challenging functionality of is active adaptation changing requirements, such as load modification, temperature variation, support settlements eventually damage. This thesis aims make progress the field adaptive structures. Intelligent control methodologies self diagnosis, multi-objective shape control, repair reinforcement learning proposed verified experimentally. Although these validated experimentally only on five module tensegrity structure, there potential for extension complex The most important conclusions this synthesized below: Self diagnosis can extend structural situations where may be partially defined loading events Multi-objective search attractive computing commands that an structure while maintaining robustness both system. These particularly useful over scenarios multiple events. damaged possible. system used apply increase stiffness decrease stresses within damaged. Reinforcement improving using previous Improvements involve lower command computation times better quality. Such interactions between algorithms systems tasks. integration intelligent create example applied range practical future.
