Abstract

This contribution applies structural shape optimization techniques to actuated smart structures. In order to combine these two disciplines, the idea of Optimal Actuation and an enlarged filtering scheme are presented. A parameter free optimization scheme is used, which allows the treatment of different branches of structural optimization using an identical framework.
