Riassunto:

Smart (intelligent) structures have been the focus of a great deal of research interest. In this book, leading researchers report the state of the art and discuss ideas, results and trends in 43 contributions, covering fundamental research issues, the role of intelligent monitoring in structural identification and damage assessment, and the potential of automatic control systems in achieving a desired structural behaviour. It also covers a number of practical issues in the analysis and design of smart structures in mechanical and civil engineering applications.
