Abstract: A new class of distributed sensors is presented which can measure both the linear and angular deflections of composite beams. The sensor relies in its operation on a set of wires which are ...

Abstract: This study presents an Independent Modal Space Control (IMSC) algorithm whose modal control forces are generated based on a Positive Position Feedback (PPF) strategy. This is in contrast to ...

Abstract: A new class of structural damping treatments is introduced. This class is the electro-magnetic damping treatment (EMDT) which relies in its operation on a viscoelastic damping layer sandwiched ...
