ABSTRACT:
Modular control patches including assemblies of sensors and actuators are provided to impart or control vibration of foundation members such as struts in aerospace apparatus. Local analog electronic control means is associated with each control patch assembly. Patches are attached mechanically or by chemical bonding to the outside of the struts. The corresponding electronics can be selectively removed and replaced. The patch being the sensors and actuators may also be attached or embedded with a composite structure.
