Abstract: A systematic experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the damping ratios of unreinforced glulam beams, and glulam beams reinforced with E-glass reinforced epoxy polymer (GRP) plates. The methods considered were ...

Abstract: This paper discusses active vibration control of an E-glass/epoxy-laminated composite beam using smart sensors and actuators. The smart sensors and actuators used in this study are piezoelectric ceramic patches. The composite ...
