A Bayesian framework provides a methodology in which inferences from measurement data can be used to bound the uncertainties in the predictive simulation of a physical system. The accuracy of these bounds relies on the satisfaction of statistical ass

We describe a framework for the verification of Bayesian model calibration routines. The framework is based on linear regression and can be configured to verify calibration to data with a range of observation error characteristics. The framework is d

The Bayesian approach to inference from measurement data has the potential to provide highly reliable characterizations of flaw geometry by quantifying the confidence in the estimate results. The accuracy of these confidence estimates depends on the

Sliding mode controllers are frequently employed to track reference signals in the presence of model errors provided a worst-case bound on such errors is known. The uncertainty bound is often chosen through intuition or heuristic observations which c

Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials have the advantage of broadband and dual actuator and sensor capabilities. Ferroelastic compounds such as shape memory alloys have large energy densities and are biocompatible. However, to take full advantage

A method is discussed to characterize the shape of a flaw from noisy far-field measurements of a scattered wave. The scattering model employed is a two-dimensional Helmholtz equation which quantifies scattering due to interrogating signals from vario

Piezoelectric, magnetic and shape memory alloy (SMA) materials offer unique capabilities for energy harvesting and reduced energy requirements in aerospace, aeronautic, automotive, industrial and biomedical applications. However, all of these materia

The objective in robust control design is to provide mechanisms to achieve tracking or stabilization objectives in the presence of unmodeled dynamics. This is usually achieved by assuming worst case model discrepancies which can significantly degrade

Ferroelectric (e.g., PZT), ferromagnetic (e.g., Terfenol-D) and ferroelastic (e.g., shape memory alloy (SMA)) materials offer unique capabilities for a range of present and emerging control applications. To fully realize the capabilities these materi

Ferroelectric materials are attractive for use in a wide range of applications due to their unique transduction capabilities. However, taking full advantage of these capabilities requires a control design which accounts for the materials' inherent hy
