Mathematical modeling of actively controlled piezo smart structures: a review
Vivek Gupta, Manu Sharma and Nagesh Thakur
Abstract
This is a review paper on mathematical modeling of actively controlled piezo smart structures. Paper has four sections to discuss the techniques to: (i) write the equations of motion (ii) implement sensoractuator design (iii) model real life environmental effects and, (iv) control structural vibrations. In section (i), methods of writing equations of motion using equilibrium relations, Hamilton
