Abstract
The paper describes mathematical modelling of adaptive skeletal structures, which are equipped with semi-active dissipaters based on smart fluids or fast-operating valves and utilize the paradigm of real-time adaptation to external loading. The proposed approach is based on three subsequent stages: i) exact thermodynamic modelling of a single semi-active dissipater with the use of mass, momentum and energy conservation laws, ii) global description of the entire skeletal structure considered as an assembly of semi-active dissipaters in certain geometrical configuration, iii) real-time control of the fluid flow inside semi-active dissipaters providing instantaneous adaptability to actual dynamic loading. This methodology enables accurate representation of mechanical characteristics of the skeletal structure and reliable analysis of its adaptation capabilities.
