IUTAM Symposium on Smart Structures and Structronic Systems: Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Magdeburg, Germany, 26-29 September 2000

This volume contains contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Smart Structures and Structronic Systems, held in Magdeburg, Germany, 26-29 September 2000. Synergistic integration of smart materials, structures, sensors, actuators and control electronics has redefined the concept of structures from a conventional passive elastic system to an active controllable structronic (structure + electronic) system with inherent self-sensing, diagnosis, and control capabilities. The Symposium w...
