Magnetorheological and electrorheological materials in adaptive structures and their performance comparison
Melek Yalcintas,Heming Dai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of vibration control capabilities of adaptive structures based on magnetorheological and electrorheological (ER) materials is presented. And the relative performances of both MR and ER adaptive beams are discussed in detail and their advantages and disadvantages are listed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibration suppression capabilities of magnetorheological materials based adaptive structures
Melek Yalcintas,Heming Dai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the vibration suppression capabilities of magnetorheological (MR) materials in adaptive structures by varying the externally applied magnetic field level over the MR layer, the stiffness and damping properties of the adaptive beam can be varied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrorheological material based non-homogeneous adaptive beams
Melek Yalcintas,John P. Coulter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the semi-active vibration control capabilities of electrorheological (ER) material based axially non-homogeneous adaptive beams were investigated, and the adaptive nature of such beams was achieved by controlling the pre-yield rheology of ER material in response to varying applied electric field levels.
Composite structures health monitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify methods to measure the health condition of composite structures, fatigue, and its remaining life by identifying defects, such as stiffness reduction, strength reduction, changes in dynamic properties, ultrasonic and acoustic emission properties, thermal and electrical properties.
