This paper presents the analysis of vibration control of a laminated composite beam that including magnetostrictive layers. The formulation of problem is presented based on the shear deformation beam theory. For vibration suppression, the velocity feedback control with constant gain distributed is considered. Navier's method is applied to analyze the solution of vibration suppression of laminat...

This paper adopts single bus digital temperature sensor DS18B20 and it can be directly converting the temperature value to 32 digit code serial mode output. The design of smart temperature sensor system based on ART neural network is using digital temperature sensor for temperature acquisition unit, automatic measurement and control of temperature by ART network. The system has a fast, stable p...

The previous two projects jointly conducted by the same team, AVT/T-121 Application of Smart Materials in the Vibration Control of Aeronautical Structures (April 2000March 2002) and AVT/T-129 Development of Control Strategies for the Vibration Control of Smart Aeronautical Structures (April 2002March 2004), form the basis of this project. During these, first the smart beam-like structures were ...

The paper introduces two newly developed smart antennas, ESPAR antenna and ESMB antenna, for mobile wireless computing terminals and mobile stations. The configurations of these smart mobile terminal antennas at the operating frequency approximately over 2.4GHz are illustrated and the applications of using these smart antennas at mobile computing terminals and mobile stations are proposed. The ...

Background and Objectives: Among the foot orthoses prescribed to improve postural control in chronic ankle instability, foot orthoses designed to affect both types of mechanical and functional instability have a limited research background. In the present study, a type of foot orthosis named the custom mold with a raised ridge around the perimeter was designed, and manufactured, and its effect ...

Creating security architectures and processes that directly interact with consumers, especially in consumer electronics, has to take into account usability, user-experience and skill level. Smart cards provide secure services, even in malicious environments, to end-users with a fairly straightforward limited usage pattern that even an ordinary user can easily deal with. The way the smart card i...

Today’s electricity grid is evolving into the smart grid which ought to be reliable, flexible, efficient, and sustainable. To fulfill these requirements, the smart grid draws on a plenty of core technologies. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). These technologies facilitate easy and fast accumulation of different data, e.g. fine-grained meter readings. Various security and privacy concerns ...

Multi-agent systems are a subject of continuously increasing interest in applied technical sciences. Smart grids are one evolving field of application. Numerous smart grid projects with various interpretations of multi-agent systems as new control concept arose in the last decade. Although several theoretical definitions of the term ‘agent’ exist, there is a lack of practical understanding that...
