Abstract: Control of the surface profile or shape of structures that deform under externally applied dynamical loads is important in many applications where no control can be exercised on the applied ...

Abstract: In the first part of this paper, we presented the theoretical basics of a new method to control the bending motion of a subdomain of a thin plate. We used continuously distributed sources ...

Abstract: Vibrations of smart elastic plates with integrated piezoelectric actuators are considered. Piezoelastic layers are used to generate a distributed actuation of the plate. A spatial shape function ...
