STRUCTURAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT WITH ACTIVE CONTROL USING INTEGRATED ELASTICITY MEASUREMENT

摘要

A system and method for actively controlling a structure is disclosed. At least one non-optimal event is identified in real-time based on at least one real-time elasticity measurement, if an event threshold exceeds a predetermined value. In response to an active control command, a control mechanism is then activated in real-time to compensate for the non-optimal event.

1. A control method for actively compensating for a non-optimal event in a structure, the method comprising:
receiving a Vehicle Structural Health (VSH) threshold from a VSH threshold database in-real-time, wherein the VSH threshold is derived from real-time elasticity measurements comprising real-time relative measurements between measurement points and their respective design reference points on the structure to provide the real-time relative measurements related to design data; identifying at least one non-optimal event in real-time, if the VSH threshold exceeds a predetermined value; and compensating for the at least one non-optimal event by activating at least one control mechanism in real-time in response to an active control command, wherein the at least one non-optimal event comprises structural twisting, bending or displacement induced by at least one force received on the structure.
