Concept of Smart Structures
The dictionary definition of the word “Smart” (brisk, spirited, mentally alert, bright, clever) is not quiet adequate for an engineer.
For an engineer “A Smart Structure” means a structure that can sense an external disturbance and respond to that with active control in real time to maintain the mission requirements. A Smart Structure typically consists of a host structure incorporated with sensors and actuators coordinated by a controller.
The integrated structured system is called Smart Structure because it has the ability to perform self diagnosis and adapt to environmental change. One promising application of such smart structure is the control and suppression of unwanted structural vibrations.
