Abstract Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze,
and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (eg …

This paper provides an overview of building structure modeling and control. It focuses on
different types of control devices, control strategies, and sensors used in structural control …

Structural systems often show nonlinear behavior under severe excitations generated by
natural hazards. In that condition, the restoring force becomes highly nonlinear showing …

The magnetic shape memory alloy based actuator (MSMA-BA) is an indispensable
component mechanism for high-precision positioning systems as it possesses the …

Tendon-sheath mechanism has “revolutionized” the use of flexible endoscopic systems, by
its many advantages of high maneuverability, lightweight, low cost, and simple design …

A normalized Bouc-Wen model is adopt in the modelling to describe the hysteresis of
magneto-rheological (MR) damper. An efficient parameters identification method of …

One of the limitations in the development of really soft robotic devices is the development of
soft actuators. In recent years, our research group has developed a new flexible shape …

A new time-domain probabilistic technique based on hierarchical Bayesian modeling (HBM)
framework is proposed for calibration and uncertainty quantification of hysteretic type …

This article is devoted to the output feedback control of nonlinear system subject to unknown
control directions, unknown Bouc–Wen hysteresis and unknown disturbances. During the …

Structural control has been comprehensively studied over the world as a multidisciplinary
research field. The present work is motivated by an attempt to give a common frame to the …
