Mechanical Systems, Structures and Materials (MSSM)

Abstract

Active Control Technology (ACT) was introduced in the seventies together with fly by wire and Control Configured Vehicle (CCV)-Technology 1. Several technologies that are now available and widely used for aircraft are: * Artificial longitudinal and lateral stability * Manoeuver load control * Vibration suppression (-leading to flutter suppression) * Gust load Alleviation The advent of smart adaptive structures, where distributed control with distributed actuators is applied even further increased the usage of ACT. The RTO-meeting in Brunswick, Germany from May 8-11, 2000 gave an overview of existing and new technologies. Hr. Luber, Daimler Chrysler acted as chairman for the Symposium on Mechanical Systems, Structures and Materials (MSSM). The Symposium was structured into four sessions, namely: Session 1: Smart Structures Applications Session 2: Active Control Technology for Load Alleviation Session 3: Active Elements for Structural Design Session 4: Active Materials and Applications
