• Abstract

  A system much studied and discussed in textbooks control systems area is the inverted pendulum, which basically consists of a rod attached to a free car to move horizontally. The inverted pendulum is considered an unstable system and is widely used to evaluate the performance of different control techniques. This system has been very currently exploited as an educational platform used for…

• Abstract

  The need for a demanding supply of energy has led to the research of new alternative sources. Electrical energy can be extracted from solar, thermal, wind, mechanical energy among others. The main advantage of this form of energy production is the use of natural sources, and to make a precise replacement of batteries and cells. Currently a combination of kinds of energy is seen, such as t…

• Abstract

  With the objective of ensuring the structural integrity of aeronautic structures, many structural health monitoring techniques have been studied. One of the most recent technique consists on using continuous sensors, made of thin nanocomposite films. The advantage of using such materials is the possibility to apply these sensors at complex surfaces, covering a large area using few aquisit…

• Abstract

  It is proposed to examine the use of Neural Networks for damage and fault detection by implementing this analytical approach using embedded piezoceramic actuators, sensors and microprocessors. The goal is to research the possibility of developing intelligent structures which would have the ability to interrogate themselves to determine their structual integrity while in service. Such stru…
