Distributed sensing of structural states is essential to vibration control, health monitoring and shape control of precision structronic systems. Paraboloidal shells of revolution are widely used in aerospace, telecommunication, etc. structures. However, distributed sensing of paraboloidal shell structures is rarely investigated over the years. Micro-sensing characteristics, sensor segmentation...

We propose a theoretical-experimental approach to the algorithmic determination of elastic properties material multilayer composite shell revolution produced by method continuous cross winding n layers (symmetric about middle surface) unidirectional reinforcing filaments deposited (in turn) at angles ±φi axis. The expressions are obtained for averaged physicomechanical characteristics varying a...

In this work we present a collocation method for the structural analysis of shells of revolution based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) interpolation. The method is based on the strong formulation of the equilibrium equations according to Reissner-Mindlin theory, with Fourier series expansion of dependent variables, which makes the problem 1D. Several numerical tests validate convergenc...

Paraboloidal shells of revolution are commonly used in advanced aerospace, civil and telecommunication structures, e.g., antennas, reflectors, mirrors, rocket fairings, nozzles, solar collectors, dome structures, etc. A structronic shell system is defined as an elastic shell embedded, bonded or laminated with distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators and it is governed by either in situ o...
