Abstract :
Through the use of active controllers, a structure can modify its behavior during dynamic loadings. A computational model and efficient and robust parallel-vector algorithms have been developed on shared-memory multiprocessor machines for the active control of large adaptive structures subjected to dynamic loadings such as impact, wind or earthquake loadings. The computational model and the algorithms have been applied to large bridge and high-rise building structures. This paper is a brief overview of our recent research in this area
