...Zhan Kang; Xiaoming Wang; Zhen Luo This paper investigates the simultaneous optimal distribution of structural material and trilevel actuation voltage for static shape control applications. In this optimal design problem, the shape error between the actuated and the desired shapes is chosen...

...Rajesh Kudikala; Deb Kalyanmoy; Bishakh Bhattacharya Shape control of adaptive structures using piezoelectric actuators has found a wide range of applications in recent years. In this paper, the problem of finding optimal distribution of piezoelectric actuators and corresponding actuation voltages...
