Wedge and Double Cantilever Beam Tests on a High Temperature Melt Processable Polyimide Adhesive, TPER- BPDA-PA

Neurocontrol of a Cantilever Beam

The civil engineering community is currently moving towards the continuous monitoring of civil structures in order to forecast their unavoidable failure with enough precision. So-called smart technologies seem to be well adapted to this specific task. For a civil structure, such as a bridge or a dam, a monitoring smart system often includes a set of sensors, whose data is passed onto a controll...

Analytical Corrections for Beam-hardening and Object Scatter in Volumetric Computed Tomography Systems

The advent of the use of digital area detectors in Volumetric Computed Tomography (VCT) systems has brought with it the challenges of achieving image quality comparable to that provided by earlier planar industrial CT systems equipped with highly collimated and efficient linear detector arrays. Particularly for imaging with higher voltage x-ray sources up to 450kVp, among the most distinct imag...

Shape Control And Optimization Using Cantilever Beam

In this study, Analytical work is carried out for static shape control of cantilever beam structure with a use of laminated piezoelectric actuator (LPA). The mathematical modeling of beam element covered with LPA based on Timoshenko beam element theory and linear theory of piezoelectricity has been used. This work shows how number of actuators, actuator size, actuator location on beam and contr...
