STRUCTURAL DAMAGE MITIGATION IN DISCRETE STRUCTURES USING MULTIPLE ACTUATORS

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is online health monitoring system and enables instantaneous maintenance triggers when the system’s health falls below predefined level of confidence due to structural damage. The inference is that Current SHM techniques could not exclude the p ossibilities of a structural failure to occur in re al-time, Active self- healing mechanism is a solution technique. Where th e four levels of SHM is pursued based on the vibrat ion database in real-time, once damage is detected if it grows structural damage mitigation is applied through actuator technologies, which is the Vibration control in damaged structure s and also called Active structural prognosis, Here damage growth mitigation using state and state derivative feedback controller is illustrated for multiple input systems
