Adaptive Structures: Dynamics and Control |
| Robert L. Clark (Duke Univ., Durham, North Carolina) ; William R. Saunders (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univ., Blacksburg, VA) ; Gary P. Gibbs (NASA-Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA) |
| This book discusses the relatively new branch of structural dynamics called adaptive structures. An adaptive structure is a structure that actually senses a change in its environment and adapts to compensate for forces applied against it. These structures contain sensors, actuators and controllers that sense a force from the environment and adjust the shape, making the structure more rigid or more flexible depending upon the force.
