Abstract

Th« publk: raporting burdan for this collcctian of information is •stimstsd to svsrags 1 hour par rasponsa, incll gatharing and maintaining tha data naadad, and complating and raviawing tha collaction of information. DISTRIBUTION/AVAILABILITY STATEMENTDisbibution Statement A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTDuring the program, we pursued parallel and synergistic investigations focused on the development of energy-based models for high performance smart material transducers and model based control designs for these transducers to provide a robust control framework for actuators operating in highly nonlinear and hysteretic regimes.
