Abstract
Smart structures include elements of active, passive or hybrid control. The fuzzy control is considered which is a suitable tool for the systematic development of active control strategies. A new Multi-Objective Differential Evolution algorithm for the calculation of the free parameters in active control systems is proposed and tested. In particular, the usage of MODE with a combination of continuous and discrete variables for the optimal design of the controller is proposed. Numerical applications on smart piezoelastic beams are presented. The results obtained are compared with the ones obtained with the fuzzy controller optimized by a MOPSO algorithm.
