When some stimulus exist, nerve of living things catches them as information
and muscle responds immediately to lead living things in security.
Our research has an object to make structure as simulated living things;
in other terms, make a smart structure which includes sensor and actuator
corresponding to nerve and muscle, respectively.
Until today, vibration information had been taken by a sensor which
can collect only from specific point. Control by using point information
sensor has problems, such as problem on distinguish vibration modes
or problem on amount of information, so that there remind some difficulties
on construction of control system.
The subject here is to realize a stable control system by using smart
sensor and actuator (actuation system). First, let a sensor itself
sort out factors which harm structures, using 2D sensor made of PVDF
film. Second, at the same time, generate distributed actuation system
without causing instable phenomenon of structure. Smart structure
with higher safeness for structure is on development by realizing
the series of movements above-mentioned.
