It synthesizes well-established theories on modern control as well as statics and dynamics of deformable bodies. Discussions concentrate on the discrete parameter adaptive structures dealing with actuator placement, actuator selection, and actuation computation problems - keeping these structures at close proximity of any chosen nominal state with the least energy consumption. An introduction to the distributed parameter adaptive structures is also provided. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book follows that modern trend in research and industry striving to incorporate intelligence into engineered products through microprocessors that are becoming smaller, faster, and cheaper at astounding rates. Not using them in engineered products may become an enormous liability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResulting from the advances in materials technology on sensors and actuator technologies as well as the availability of very powerful and reliable microprocessors, there is an ever-increasing interest in actively controlling the behavior of engineering systems. Engineers and engineering scientists must revive and broaden their activities to maximize applications for predicting and controlling the behavior of deformable bodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics include: \u003cli\u003eAn introduction to adaptive structures\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncremental excitation-response relations in static and dynamic cases\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eActive control of response in static case\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStatically determinate adaptive structures\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStatically indeterminate adaptive structures\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eActive vibration control for autonomous and non-autonomous cases\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eActive control against wind\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eActive control against seismic loads\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDistributed parameter adaptive structures \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe technology of adaptive structures has created an environment where the analysis, not the computation, of structural response - du\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Senol Utku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0849374316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780849374319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 6.29w x 0.84d","brand":"Senol Utku","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013821444351,"sku":"9780849374319","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8eb9a134-4cbe-4211-b4a5-f2c41a62e19e.jpg?v=1767744981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theory-of-adaptive-structures-senol-utku-9780849374319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
