A Static Control Algorithm for Adaptive Beam String Structures Based on Minimal Displacement

The beam string structure (BSS) is a type of prestressed structure and has been widely used in large span structures nowadays. The adaptive BSS is a typical smart structure that can optimize the working status itself by controlling the length of active struts via certain control device. The control...
