Simultaneous active control of flexural and extension power flow in thin beams

The primary goal of this dissertation consisted of two related parts. The first was to develop an analytical basis for predicting the active control of flexural and extensional power flow in thin semi-infinite and finite beams using piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The second part was to experim...
