Abstract
Present paper is concerned with the basic aspects of a newly suggested theory of intelligent composite structures. The governing equations describing the behavior of an intelligent composite structure incorporating sensors and actuators are derived. The basic optimization problems in the theory of intelligent structures are formulated. The discussion on some relevant aspects of the optimal control theory, and on similarities and discrepancies between the theory of intelligent structures and theory of optimal control is provided. The basic optimization problems for the intelligent systems are illustrated by the applied examples of practical interest. In these examples, two major sources of control are emphasized, namely, residual strains and material properties.
