Description
In this monograph, mathematical and computational investigations pertinent to scientific and engineering issues in the emerging field of smart materials are presented. A brief survey of basic mechanisms and questions related to various components (piezoelectric and electrostrictive elements, magnetostrictive transducers, ER fluids, shape memory alloys, fiber optics) of smart material structures is given. Attention is then focused on piezoceramic actuators and sensors. Care is given to the precise modeling of piezoceramic patch contributions (passive and active) in structures such as thin shells, plates and beams. Mathematical foundations for well-posedness, approximation, inverse problem and parameter estimation, and feedback control methodologies are discussed. Applications, including experimental validation of the efficacy of the ideas, are presented in the context of damage detection and characterization in structures, and in active control of structural vibrations and structure-borne noise.
