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 …

As an effective approach to suppress vibrations and noise, passive constrained layer
damping (PCLD) treatments are widely used in engineering practice. However most of the …

Most of the existing methods for sandwich plates are only suitable for a particular type of
boundaries which typically require modifications in solution procedures to adapt different …

The optimal active flutter control of supersonic composite laminated panels is studied using
the distributed piezoelectric actuators/sensors pairs. The supersonic piston theory is used to …

Truss structures provide support and connection as essential components of spacecrafts.
However, they are constantly disturbed and vibrated, which affects the pointing accuracy …

The aim of this research is to attenuate the vibrations of a blade structure with an attached
piezoelectric actuator using robust multi-objective control. The force obtained from a …
