Hybrid active-passive damping treatments combine the reliability, low cost and robustness of
viscoelastic damping treatments and the high performance, modal selective and adaptive …

When dealing with optimization problems, the introduction of uncertainty will greatly
increase the difficulty of solving the problem. The traditional reliability-based design …

Piezoelectric system is widely used in vibration control, but due to the influence of
uncertainty in the system, the control rate designed for determined system may not meet the …

This paper presents a numerical study concerning the active vibration control of smart
piezoelectric beams. A comparison between the classical control strategies, constant gain …

This work focuses on panel flutter and active control in supersonic variable stiffness
composite laminates, making progress on the analytical modeling and combined exploration …

Abstract A Shape Memory Polymer (SMP), the tBA/PEGDMA, is used as viscoelastic core in
sandwich structures. The dynamic mechanical characterization of this SMP highlights …

Smart structures include elements of active, passive or hybrid control. In this paper, particle
swarm optimization (PSO) for the calculation of the free parameters in active control systems …

This paper investigates the frequency dependent viscoelastic dynamics of a multifunctional
composite structure from finite element analysis and experimental validation. The frequency …

A first attempt is made to survey and discuss the recent advances in hybrid active-passive
struc tural vibrations control. The survey is illustrated with figures and tables for helpful use …

This work, in two parts, proposes, in this first part, an electromechanically coupled finite
element model to handle active–passive damped multilayer sandwich beams, consisting of …
