Development of Robust Control Systems for Magneto-Rheological Fluid-Based Smart Structures

未来的智能结构能够承受狂风、狂浪和地震等破坏性的动态荷载，将给居住者和内容带来前所未有的安全性和舒适性。这将直接惠及澳大利亚人。智能结构技术的发展也将使国内咨询公司具备在国际上竞争的能力，从而为澳大利亚带来明显的经济红利和优势。此外，成功的努力导致地震防护研究这一重要领域的重大突破，将产生远远超出该国国界的重大影响。

Possessing the ability to withstand such destructive dynamic loading as gusty winds, fierce waves, and earthquakes, the smart structures of the future will enjoy the unprecedented safety and comfort bringing to their occupants and contents. This will directly benefit Australians. The development of the smart structure technology will also give domestic consultants the ability to compete internationally, resulting in obvious economic dividends and advantages benefiting Australia. Moreover, a successful effort leading to a major breakthrough of the important area of seismic protection research will have a significant impact far beyond the border of this country.
