Abstract
Due to the rapid development of adaptive structures and large flexible systems, “intelligent” or “smart” structures with built in sensors, actuators, and even control electronics are increasingly in demand today (Tzou & Anderson, 1992; Wada, Fanson, & Crawley, 1989). Conventional composite materials have been available for decades, and they are constantly being advanced in many features, such as strength/weight ratios, directional properties, high-temperature tolerance, etc. A step beyond the conventional material improvement is an addition of “intelligence”, i.e., sensors, actuators, control electronics, central processing unit (CPU), etc., to the composites. This chapter presents a theoretical development of a multi-layered thin shell with internal distributed actuators for distributed vibration controls of active shell structures.
