Riassunto
A smart structure integrates sensors, actuators, signal processors, communication networks, power sources, and possibly smart materials, to sense and react to its environment. This book runs from the fundamentals to the state-of-the-art topics such as energy harvesting, self-repairing, and life cycle performance. It covers structural health moni
