Zusammenfassung:This report assesses the current status and maturity of smart structures technology. The report contains sections on smart materials, neural networks, health monitoring, and smart structures component technologies such as actuators, sensory elements, control methodologies and algorithms, controller architecture and implementation hardware, and signal conditioning and power amplification. A strategic research and-development plan is suggested for the Air Force. Eleven specific problems with Air Force aircraft structure and weapons systems are identified which have the potential for being alleviated or reduced by application Of Smart structures technologies.
