A one-dimensional model for shape memory alloys is presented that permits the simulation of actuatoric behavior. It is an improved version of the Muller-Achenbach single crystal model and calculates the length change as a response to electric heating. Based on this model, a polycrystalline version is developed, which is shown to be in excellent agreement with experimental results. Finally, as an illustrative application,a real-time control is calculated for an adaptive beam using SMA actuators.

Adaptive structures optimal design problems and solution methods are presented and discussed for the cases of shape control and active damping. A general method to solve simultaneously optimal placement and control problems for active damping applications is outlined. This method is based on a finite element structural model and on the calculation of the closed-loop system poles. Numerical results are given to illustrate this method for the case of a beam with collocated PZT sensor/actuator pair and a direct velocity feedback controller.

Distributed vibration control of an elastic beam is analyzed. The elastic beam is sandwiched between two thin layers of mono-axially oriented piezoelectric material. One layer acts as a distributed sensor while the other behaves as an actuator. A displacement feedback control with a time delay is implemented. In this feedback, the distributed sensor signal which is proportional to strains is amplified and applied to the actuator after a time delay. Because of the nature of the problem the control action enters as a boundary control. An evaluation of the control effectiveness, natural frequency and damping is made for the case of a cantilever beam. Comparisons are given with the uncontrolled cases and zero-delay systems.

The paper first presents a general purpose finite element based simulation tool for piezoelectric controlled smartstructures. In addition to the standard finite elements, this tool contains a number of coupled electromechanical finite elements as well as numerical tools to simulate controlled structures in statics and dynamics. The effectiveness of a smart structure decisively depends on the amount and distribution of active materials across the passive structure and on the controller design. To solve this design problem automatically, a discrete optimization technique and ideas from topology optimization are presented. The control parameters are considered as continuous design variables. Mathematical solution algorithms for nonlinear, mixed continuous and discrete-valued optimization techniques are used to solve the optimization problem. As a test example the distribution of piezoelectric wafers over a beam structure is presented. Finally, tis paper gives an outlook for new developments in this field.

In this paper, the finite-element/boundary-element program CAPA(1) is presented, which has been developed by the authors during the last decade. With this software environment we are able to model quite different types of transducers which mostly ask for the numerical solution of a multifield problem, such as coupled electric-mechanical fields or magnetic-mechanical fields. Practical applications in the area of smartstructures will demonstrate the applicability of the developed software.

Integration of controllers with smart structural system require the controllers to consume less power and to be small in hardware size. These requirements pose as limits on the control input and the order of the controllers. Use of reduced order model of the plant in the controller design can cause spill over problems:in the closed loop system due to possible excitation of the unmodeled dynamics. In this paper we present the design of output feedback robust controllers for smartstructures in the presence of control input limits considering unmodeled dynamics as additive uncertainty in the design. The performance requirements for the design are specified as regional pole placement constraints on the closed loop poles. Formulation of this multi-objective design problem in terms of matrix inequalities resulted in a feasibility problem involving bilinear matrix inequalities(BLMIs) in the unknown variables. To facilitate the solution of this feasibility problem, a change of variables is used to convert these BLMIs into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be readily solved by the use of available,tools. Finally, this design procedure is applied on a experimental smart structure and the results are presented.

Piezoelectric devices represent an important new group of actuators and sensors for active vibration control systems. Indeed, this technology allows to construct spatially distributed devices. A mathematical model of a multilayered piezoelectric plate, which takes hysteresis and polarization of the piexoelectric laminae into account, is presented. Passive control for Lagrangian systems is used to derive a class of stabilizing control laws, which are based on the collocation of sensors and actuators. Therefore, the design of the spatial distribution of the sensors/actuators is considered as a part of the controller synthesis.

The paper discusses feedback control strategies for the reduction of helicopter vibration using a trailing edge flap located at the outer part of the rotor blades. The problem of reducing rotor-induced vibration is considered as a disturbance rejection control problem where robust servomechanism control is applied in combination with optimal constant output, feedback. This control scheme is examined in the view of limitations in the transient performance by investigating the zeros of the multivariable system. Local control strategies in the rotating system are developed for active damping enhancement. Simulations are presented based on a BO105 helicopter.

The incorporation of an active control system into an aerospace structure as part of-a smart structure has raised the issue of: How does the controller respond when the structure is damaged? The answer is usually dependent on the answer to numerous: other questions regarding the type of controller, the type of damage, the application of the smart structure, etc. However, previous research has indicated that the Direct Model Reference Adaptive control (DMRAC) algorithm has potential in preventing the damaged smart structure from becoming unstable. Maintaining stability following an impact damage is of minimal usefulness if the controller can not also provide satisfactory performance before the damage event. This paper presents the simulation results of research comparing a velocity and position feedback controller with a DMRAC controller. The primary areas of concern were the undamaged performance (damping augmentation) and the damaged performance (stability and steady state response). The traditional controller design performed better before the damage occurred, but the DMRAC controller was significantly better after the damage occurred.

The systems theory approach to the feedback stabilization of finite-amplitude disturbances in plane Poiseuille flow results in high-order system models to accurately represent the disturbance dynamics. From a practical standpoint, a controller developed for a specific flow control task will often have to be implemented in realtime. The need for the synthesis of rigorous control theory and experimental methods has been noted by several researchers over the years. A key step to this synthesis is the development of low dimensional descriptions of flow dynamics for control synthesis. This paper examines the use of the optimal projection method for reduced-order controller synthesis for flow disturbance model systems with relatively high order (greater than 40).
