Abstract
AbstractThe first Chapter of this monograph deals with a brief introduction to the theory and concepts of smart materials and structures, mathematical modeling and the active vibration control of smart structures. Some of the application fields of this emerging topic in the modern day world are also mentioned. Various types of control strategies are also presented in this context, which are used to suppress the vibrations of flexible beams and to make the structures safe, reliable and from further damage. A brief survey on the research on smart structures done so far is also presented along with the authors contributions. Finally, the motivation that made us to venture into this smart structures field is presented at the end.
