A comparative analysis of Piezoelectric and Magnetostrictive actuators in Smart Structures

This paper introduces a comparative analysis of Piezoelectric (PZ) and Magnetostrictive (MS) actuators as components in smart structures. There is an increasing interest in functional structures which are able to adapt to external or internal perturbations, i.e. changes in loading conditions or agei...
