Adaptive Structures - An Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of research in the area of adaptive structures. A general description of smart material systems is given. Particular focus is given to the following fields of application: semi-passive concepts, energy harvesting, semi-active concepts, active vibration control, and active structural acoustic control. The use of adaptive structures in structural health monitoring applications and for shape adaptation is also considered.

An Energy Based Adaptive Pushover Analysis for Nonlinear Static Procedures
Nonlinear static procedure (NSP) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. Therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each NSP. Accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...
متن کاملAn overview of scanning near-field optical microscopy in characterization of nano-materials
Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is a member of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) family which enables nanostructure investigation of the surfaces on a wide range of materials. In fact, SNOM combines the SPM technology to the optical microscopy and in this way provide a powerful tool to study nano-structures with very high spatial resolution. In this paper, a qualified overview of ...
