Dynamic
System Modeling, Sensing and Control (DSMSC)
The
Dynamic System Modeling, Sensing and Control (DSMSC) program supports
research on the fundamental engineering concepts, theories and their experimental
validations for modeling, analysis, simulation and control of dynamic systems,
including study of new control methods, acoustics, vibrations, system complexity
and kinematics relationships. This program also supports research on
information technologies as related to smart and adaptive civil and mechanical
systems
at all physical scales, including study of new technologies for sensing and
acquiring information; multiple and intelligent system functionality; and modeling,
synthesis, simulation, and prototyping of intelligent systems and their components
including smart structures. The DSMSC research will advance the knowledge
base for integration of sensors, actuators, controllers, and power sources
for adaptive and mechatronic applications.
Dynamic Systems and Control (DSC)
The Dynamic Systems and Control (DSC)
program element supports research to
establish fundamental advances in the understanding of time varying phenomena
underlying system dynamic behaviors, including acoustics, vibrational responses,
and
kinematic relationships. The program also supports research that leads
to advances
and novel developments in control system technologies and strategies with broad
applicability to both mechanical and civil systems.
Sensor Technologies for Civil and Mechanical Systems
(STCMS)
The Sensor Technologies for Civil and
Mechanical Systems (STCMS) program
element supports research on acquiring and using information about civil and
mechanical systems to improve their safety, reliability, cost, and performance. This
includes research that extends the knowledge base for development of advanced
sensors for solution of inverse problems related to system identification and
characterization, and for implementation of real time autoadaptive system
performance capabilities that use the sensed information. Examples of
research
areas to be supported include innovative developments in sensor technologies,
analytical strategies for CMS monitoring, and active noise and vibration control
technologies.
