Use of piezoelectric actuators as elements of intelligent structures
Edward F. Crawley,Javier de Luis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling analysis is performed to demonstrate that the effectiveness of actuators is independent of the size of the structure and evaluate various piezoelectric materials based on their effectiveness in transmitting strain to the substructure.

Rethinking Engineering Education: The CDIO Approach
TL;DR: In the past ten years, leaders in engineering industries have identified specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of their workforce if they want to be innovative and competitive in a global environment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detailed Models of Piezoceramic Actuation of Beams
TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for modeling induced strain actuation of beam-like components of intelligent structures are developed, including two analytical models and one numerical model describing the detailed mechanics of induced strain actuators bonded to and embedded in one-dimensional structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced strain actuation of isotropic and anisotropic plates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and verified the induced strain actuation of a simple actuator/substrate system for an intelligent structure using a Rayleigh-Ritz procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A technical comparison of three low earth orbit satellite constellation systems to provide global broadband
TL;DR: A statistical method is developed to estimate the total system throughput, considering both the orbital dynamics of the space-segment and the variability in performance induced by atmospheric conditions both for the user and feeder links, and identifies some of the major technical challenges that the three systems will have to overcome before becoming operational.
