Smart Structures: Analysis and Design

摘要: From the Publisher: Smart structures and structural components can sense a change in temperature, pressure, or strain; diagnose prob lem; initiate an appropriate action to preserve integrity. This text provides basic information needed analyze design smart devices structures. Among topics covered are piezoelectric crystals, shape memory alloys, electrorheological fluids, vibration absorbers, fiber optics, mistuning. A final chapter explores biomimetics strategies that be incorporated at microstructural level deriving inspiration from biological The of is cutting edge engineering research development, this introductory book on subject will welcomed by both students practicing engineers.
