Much of the recent and past work in the area of smart materials and structures has focused
on analysis of actuators and actively controlled systems. Although many sophisticated …

In this paper, considering the influence of uncertainties in piezoelectric intelligent structures
with active vibration control law, a robust topology optimization method to reduce the …

We present an algorithm for shape optimization under stochastic loading and representative
numerical results. Our strategy builds upon a combination of techniques from two-stage …

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied to
the analysis and simulation of smart materials and structures. The bibliography is an …

Gaussian processes (GP) form a well-established predictive tool which provides a natural
platform for tackling high-dimensional random input data in challenging simulations. This …

This paper addresses the problem of optimal positioning of surface bonded piezoelectric
patches in sandwich plates with viscoelastic core and laminated face layers. The objective is …

Risk averse optimization has attracted much attention in finite dimensional stochastic
programming. In this paper, we propose a risk averse approach in the infinite dimensional …

Compared with static shape control, dynamic shape control is more difficult due to its time-
varying nature. To improve the control precision and reduce the number of actuators …

The paper investigates the effect of the location and size of piezoelectric patches in a
composite multilayer plate on the energy input/output when the plate acts as a sensor …

In this work, a two-stage design optimization procedure is developed to explore the effect of
optimal actuator placement and position on energy efficiency in morphing wings. Diamond …
