Distributed Modal Identification and Vibration Control of Continua: Theory and Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional transducers and actuators are “discrete” in nature, i.e., they usually measure and control spatially discrete locations. These discrete devices become useless when they are placed at ...
Nonlinear Piezothermoelasticity and Multi-Field Actuations, Part 1: Nonlinear Anisotropic Piezothermoelastic Shell Laminates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nonlinear characteristics, either material or geometrical nonlinearity, and temperature variations can significantly influence the performance and reliability of piezoelectric sensors, actuators, ...
Piezothermoelasticity and Precision Control of Piezoelectric Systems: Theory and Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Piezothermoelastic effects of distributed piezoelectric sensor/actuator and structural systems are studied. Distributed controls (static and dynamic) of piezoelectric laminates subjected to a steady-state ...
Distributed Photostrictive Actuation and Opto-Piezothermoelasticity Applied to Vibration Control of Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional hard-wired sensor/actuator systems are likely sensitive to strong electromagnetic fields, cross-talks, electric noises, etc. Noncontact distributed opto-electromechanical actuators driven ...
Nonlinear Piezothermoelasticity and Multi-Field Actuations, Part 2: Control of Nonlinear Deflection, Buckling and Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Linear dynamics and distributed control of piezoelectric laminated continua have been intensively investigated in recent years. In this study, dynamics, electromechanical couplings, and control of ...
Electromechanics and Vibrations of Piezoelectric Shell Distributed Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
