Abstract:Smart laminated composites with layers of magnetostrictive andlor piezoelectric materials have been explored for active damping applications. Active vibration control in laminated structures with low inherent damping, may lead to instability. In some other cases like flexible appendages of satellites, design considerations may impose constraints in collocated sensing and actuation in structure which would also cause degradation in system performance if only active control is used. Ideally, both structural damp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
