Enhanced induced strain actuator performance through discrete attachment to structural elements
In intelligent structures, structural deformation is generally controlled by either embedding or surface bonding the induced strain actuator to the structure. With bonded or embedded actuators used for inducing flexure, the developed in-plane force contributes indirectly through a locally-generated …
