9350268 Garcia Ephrahim Garcia博士在担任校长研究员期间的研究重点是柔性动态系统的控制。机电设备的驱动用于控制系统的动态行为，如汽车、机器人操纵器、桥梁和飞机。然而，结构和作动器的动力学往往是耦合的，导致结构不稳定。并置反馈策略用于避免不稳定现象。此外，智能或自适应结构用于结构控制和健康监测。智能结构技术集成了传感器、执行器和结构构件，以确保结构的稳定性、结构识别和振动抑制。介绍了神经网络在结构自诊断和控制中的应用。*** *** *是t​$ $ （f / '）1 Times Symbol " Helvetica 5 Courier New ",,, - " h c % c % c % v \ I R:\WW20USER\ABSTRACT。DOT abgarcia maryjohnson maryjohnson

9350268 Garcia The focus of Dr. Ephrahim Garcia's research, during his tenure as a Presidential Faculty Fellow, is on the control of flexible dynamic systems. Actuation of electro-mechanical devices is used to control the dynamic behavior of systems such as automobiles, robotic manipulators, bridges and aircrafts. However, the dynamics of the structure and the actuator are often coupled leading to structural instability. Collocated feedback strategies are used to avoid instability phenomena. In addition, smart or adaptive structures are used for structural control and health monitoring. Smart structures technology incorporates an integration of sensors, actuators and structural members to insure stability, structural identification and vibration suppression. Application of neural networks is included for structural self diagnosis and control. *** v s t $ $ ( F / ` ` 1 Times Symbol " Helvetica 5 Courier New ` , , , - " h c % c % c % v \ I R:\WW20USER\ABSTRACT.DOT abgarcia maryjohnson maryjohnson
