Control, Optimization, and Smart Structures: High-Performance Bridges and Buildings of the Future

by Hojjat Adeli

Control, Optimization, and Smart Structures: High-Performance Bridges and Buildings of the Future Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Smarte" oder "adaptive" Systeme sind die neue Generation von Konstruktionen im Bauwesen. Mit Hilfe integrierter Computersteuerungen können solche Systeme auf äußere Einflüsse wie Erdbeben und Stürme flexibel reagieren. Derartige Technologien erobern gegenwärtig die Akzeptanz der Fachleute - daher ist dieses Buch, das sich mit technischen Aspekten ebenso wie mit der Praxis der effektiven Konstruktion beschäftigt, hochaktuell.
