An innovative concept, smart structural systems have proven to be
extremely effective in absorbing damaging energy and/or
counteracting potentially devastating force, thus limiting
structural collapse and subsequent injury. As this technology
rapidly evolves, there is an ever-increasing need for an
authoritative reference that will allow those in the field to stay
abreast of the very latest advances. Smart Structures: Innovative
Systems for Seismic Response organizes current research and
technology to provide researchers and practicing engineers, as well
as advanced students, with the means to learn about and apply the
very latest smart structure innovations. Key features include-
Complete mathematical formulations and numerical procedures for
topics presented New technologies Design guidelines and examples
based on current official codes Consideration of smart structures
on a variety of foundations Discussion of the use of smart
structures with passive or semi-active devices Extensive references
Designed for self-teaching, the text emphasizes essential
information on structural formulations, mechanism of control
systems, and numerical algorithms. It also provides step-by-step
numerical examples to illustrate mathematical formulations and
interpret physical representations, enabling readers to understand
the forumulae vis-a-vis their applications. Each chapter
comprehensively explores a specific topic, from smart structure
systems currently in use, to case studies utilizing simulated
earthquake data.
