Robust design--that is, managing design uncertainties such as model uncertainty or parametric uncertainty--is the often unpleasant issue crucial in much multidisciplinary optimal design work. Recently, there has been enormous practical interest in strategies for applying optimization tools to the development of robust solutions and designs in several areas, including aerodynamics, the integration of sensing (e.g., laser radars, vision-based systems, and millimeter-wave radars) and control, cooperative control with poorly modeled uncertainty, cascading failures in military and civilian...

Vibrations of Linear Piezostructures is a self-contained and introductory text providing a focused and concise account of the general theory of vibrations of linear piezostructures. While piezoelectric materials and sensors have been studied for decades, a person seeking a general introduction to the theory for modeling and analysis of this emerging class of sensors, actuators, and active systems currently must assimilate approaches from older outdated texts, journal or conference articles, edited volumes, highly specialized texts, or manuscripts that primarily treat other topics such as...
