Smart System or Structure What is a Smart Structure? A smart structure is a system containing multifunctional parts that can perform sensing‚ control‚ and actuation; it is a primitive analogue of a biological body. Smart materials are used to construct these smart structures which can perform both sensing and actuation functions. If truly smart‚ these intelligent systems can determine their present state‚ decide what is the optimum or more desirable state and carry out an appropriate

emissions of electric cars with this graph. Here we see the higher amount of emissions per electric car‚ although this can naturally be compensated during the lower emissions during the life-cycle of this car. To note that in case the battery has to be replaced during the life-time of the vehicle‚ the amount will increase to 12‚5t of CO2 per car‚ so more than the double of a gasoline car. 2.2 Source of energy. Here we get to one of the biggest problems of electrics cars: the way we charge them

Abstract- Driverless cars are the promising approach to reduce the traffic problems. In driverless cars the frequently changing state of the road due to obstacles is controlled by array of sensors‚ which acknowledges the presence of obstacles on the driving path and creates the suitable path by frequently updating the route. This paper describes the efficient Doppler radar system and specialized algorithms to measure the speed of a vehicle used in autonomous vehicles. The velocity‚ acceleration and
