Smart Technologies for Safety Engineering
herausgegeben von Jan Holnicki-SzulcSmart technologies comprise a dynamic new interdisciplinaryresearch field that encompasses a wide spectrum of engineeringapplications including, but not limited to, intelligent structuresand materials, actuators, sensors and structural observability, control systems and software tools for the design of adaptivestructures. Smart technologies focus on the issues surrounding thesafety and integrity of engineering systems.
Smart Technologies for Safety Engineering presents theachievements of ten years of research from the Smart-Tech Centreapplied to some of the key issues of safety engineering. Resultspresented include:
* Original methods and software tools for modelling, design, simulation and control of adaptive structures and applicability ofthe adaptive concept to the design of structures for extremeloads;
* Application of the smart-tech concept to hot research topicsand emerging engineering issues including health monitoring ofstructures and engineering systems, monitoring of loadingconditions, automatic structural adaptation to unpredictable, randomly changing dynamic conditions and the optimal design ofadaptive structures and engineering systems;
* Numerically efficient and original software packages that canbe used for the design of adaptive, as well as passive (withoutcontrol devices) structures.
* The Virtual Distortion Method, which has been developedespecially for fast reanalysis of structures and systems and exactsensitivity analysis, allowing for effective modelling, design, health monitoring and control of smart engineering systems.
The original research and practical applications in SmartTechnologies for Safety Engineering will appeal to a broad spectrumof engineers, researchers, professors and graduate studentsinvolved in the research, design and development of widelyunderstood adaptronics and mechatronics, including smartstructures and materials, adaptive impact absorption, health andload monitoring, vibration control, vibroacoustics and relatedissues.
