Micro Abstract:
The compensation of static loads aims at reducing stresses or displacements by applying energy to an adaptive structure. The performance in static adaption significantly depends on the location of the actuators. We present a method for optimal actuator placement regarding static adaption using a Gramian-based cost function. The method is demonstrated by means of a numerical model of an adaptive truss structure. Results indicate the method’s effectiveness to promote actuator placement.
