About book

A futuristic guide to smart structure technology

Through the use of active controllers, a structure can modify its behavior during dynamic loading such as impact, wind, or earthquake loading. Such structures with self-modification capability are called adaptive or smart structures. Smart structure technology prevents loss of life and damage to structures during natural disasters. This cross-disciplinary book features computational models and algorithms for active control of a new generation of large adaptive structures subjected to various types of dynamic loading. An important focus of the book is the optimization of both the structure and control systems in order to minimize costs. "Smarte" oder "adaptive" Systeme sind die neue Generation von Konstruktionen im Bauwesen. Mit Hilfe integrierter Computersteuerungen können solche Systeme auf äußere Einflüsse wie Erdbeben und Stürme flexibel reagieren. Derartige Technologien erobern gegenwärtig die Akzeptanz der Fachleute - daher ist dieses Buch, das sich mit technischen Aspekten ebenso wie mit der Praxis der effektiven Konstruktion beschäftigt, hochaktuell.
