Title: Modélisation, analyse et commande de systèmes intelligents
Funded by the french CNRS Communication and Information Science and Technology
Abstract: Le but de ce projet est d'étudier des problèmes de modélisation, d'analyse et de commande de systèmes équipés de matériaux intelligents. Nous considérons des modèles d'équations aux dérivées partielles et nous étudions différents problèmes d'automatique (controlabilité, stabilisation, poursuite de trajectoire, commande robuste, saturations, ...) pour des structures mécaniques ayant une répartition diffuse d'actionneurs et de capteurs. Une application potentielle concerne l'optique adaptative, plus précisèment l'utilisation d'un grand nombre de cellules piézo-électriques pour la déformation de grands miroirs.
