Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An innovative concept, smart structural systems have proven to be extremely effective in absorbing damaging energy and counteracting potentially devastating force, thus limiting structural collapse and subsequent injury. This text organizes current research and technology to provide researchers, practicing engineers, and advanced students with the means to learn about and apply the very latest smart structure innovations. Key features include complete mathematical formulations and numerical procedures, new technologies, design guidelines and examples based on current official codes, consideration of smart structures on a variety of foundations, and discussion of the use of smart structures with passive or semi-active devices.
