Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 246))

Abstract

This chapter begins with a brief introduction of the motivations of the book, a review of the detrimental effect of vibrations on systems, and of the field of SMART materials and structures. This is followed by a discussion of the broad classes of control strategies, namely feedback and feedforward. Next follows a discussion of the various steps of design, the plant description, the error budget, and control budget. The chapter ends with a discussion of the inversion of a rectangular matrix with singular value decomposition (including Tikhonov regularization). The chapter concludes with a reference list.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Moore’s law on the number of transistors on an integrated circuit could not hold without a constant improvement of the accuracy of wafer steppers and other precision machines [9].

  2. 2.

    The superelastic behavior of SMA may be exploited to achieve damping, for low frequency and low cycle applications, such as earthquake protection.
