Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and design of adaptive composite structures
Victor M. Franco Correia,Maria A. Aguiar Gomes,Afzal Suleman,Cristóvão M. Mota Soares,Carlos A. Mota Soares +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, higher order finite element formulations and an analytical closed form solution have been developed to study the mechanics of adaptive composite structures with embedded and/or bonded piezoelectric actuators and sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal design in vibration control of adaptive structures using a simulated annealing algorithm
José Mateus Simões Moita,Victor M. Franco Correia,Pedro G. Martins,Cristóvão M. Mota Soares,Carlos A. Mota Soares +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element formulation based on the classical laminated plate theory for laminated structures with integrated piezoelectric layers or patches, acting as sensors and actuators, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buckling optimization of composite laminated adaptive structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the optimal design of laminated composite plates with integrated piezoelectric actuators, and combine finite element models based on equivalent single layer high-order shear deformation theories with simulated annealing, a stochastic global optimization technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Material distribution and sizing optimization of functionally graded plate-shell structures
José Mateus Simões Moita,Aurélio L. Araújo,Victor M. Franco Correia,Cristóvão M. Mota Soares,José Herskovits,José Herskovits +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high order shear deformation theory is used to develop a discrete model for the structural and sensitivity analyses allowing for the material distribution and sizing optimization of functionally graded material (FGM) structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Target Localization in NLOS Environments Using RSS and TOA Measurements
TL;DR: This letter addresses the problem of target localization in adverse non-line-of-sight environments by utilizing integrated received signal strength and time of arrival measurements, and a novel alternating algorithm is proposed.
