Opis

This book collects invited lectures presented at the AMAS & ECCOMAS Workshop/Thematic Conference SMART'03 on Smart Materials and Structures. The conference was held in Jadwisin, Poland near Warsaw, 2-5 September 2003. It was organized by the Advanced Materials and Structures (AMAS) Centre of Excellence at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research (IFTR) in Warsaw and ECCOMAS - the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and SMART-TECH Centre at IFTR. The goal of the workshop was to bring together and consolidate the community of Smart Materials and Structures in Europe. The workshop program was grouped into the topics Structural Control, Vibration Control and Dynamics, Damage Identification, and Smart Materials.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"Within the last few decades there has been a growing fusion of the disciplines of electrical, civil, and aerospace/mechanical engineering to develop a new generation of 'smart structures.' ... the contributions of the various papers have utility for the general readership in varying degrees. ... this book emphasizes the unique and promising solutions to societal problems that can surface when diverse disciplines of civil, aerospace/mechanical, and electrical engineering come together." (Tracy Kijewski-Correa, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Vol. 50 (11), 2005)
