A Technology Perspective: Sensors, Actuators Signal Processing - The ASSET View

摘要

One of the principal activities of the ASSET Network was to summarise the state-of-the-art in smart structures technology. This paper presents a summary of these reports and endeavours to bring together the component enables - sensors and actuators, the software tools principally signal processing and control algorithms - into a structural design philosophy. Whilst any design philosophy must be in the early phases of development the increasing importance of integrating advanced instrumentation systems within structural artefacts rapidly becomes evident.
