Smart Structures Research at Ntu
نویسنده
چکیده
Smart Structures is a rapidly advancing field with the range of support and enabling technologies having made significant advances, notably optics and electronics. Whilst piezoelectric actuators and fiber optic sensors have been accorded the most attention, other techniques such as Shape Memory Alloys, Magneto Restrictive Materials and Electro-Rheological Fluids also have niche applications. Furthermore, aspects such as structural integrity, sensor fusion and data interpretation are being considered. This paper will describe some of the research activities at NTU encompassing this broad range of strategic activities.

Structural elucidation of phosphoglycolipids from strains of the bacterial thermophiles Thermus and Meiothermus.
The structures of two major phosphoglycolipids from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus oshimai NTU-063, Thermus thermophilus NTU-077, Meiothermus ruber NTU-124, and Meiothermus taiwanensis NTU-220 were determined using spectroscopic and chemical analyses to be 2'-O-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho) -3'-O-(alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminyl)-N-glyceroyl alkylamine [PGL1 (1)] and the novel structure 2'-O...
متن کاملActive Control of Mechanical Structures in Research and Education
Several crucial phases of the overall approach to development and design of smart structures are outlined in this paper. They are focused on control of lightweight mechanical structures with respect to active vibration and noise attenuation using piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The research experience and growing interest in development of smart structures have motivated introduction of co...
متن کاملThe Existence of the α-core and β-core in NTU DEA Game
This paper deals with the problem of fairly allocating a certain amount of divisible goods or burdens among individuals or organizations within the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA). It is an extension work on our previous research of game theoretic approaches to weight assignments in DEA problems [6]. One of the main points in this previous work was that the core of the TU DEA game ...
متن کاملConvex and exact games with non-transferable utility
We generalize exactness to games with non-transferable utility (NTU). In an exact game for each coalition there is a core allocation on the boundary of its payoff set. Convex games with transferable utility are well-known to be exact. We study five generalizations of convexity in the NTU setting. We show that each of ordinal, coalition merge, individual merge and marginal convexity can be unifi...
متن کاملBrief Overview of Bioinformatics Activities in Singapore
The frontier of biological and medical sciences is full of opportunity today. It is widely appreciated that present-day biomedical researchers are confronted by vast amounts of data from genome sequencing; microscopy; high-throughput analytical techniques for DNA, RNA, and proteins; and a host of other new experimental technologies. Coupled with advances in computing power, this flow of informa...
