OPTIMAL CONTROL WITH ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

in critical structural elements.NDE techniques in composites have been developed primarily in the defense and advancedtechnology industries. These techniques have evolved over the past 30 to 40 years, and their effec-tiveness in evaluating the performance of composite materials is quite impressive.[r]
