1. A method for alleviating an anomaly in a structure, the method comprising:

  • embedding at least one anomaly detector structural member in the structure;

    sending a measurement signal to the at least one anomaly detector structural member;

    receiving a feedback signal from the at least one anomaly detector structural member in response to the measurement signal;

    calculating in real-time a difference between the measurement signal and the feedback signal to determine a real-time change in the structure;

    identifying at least one non-optimal event in real-time if the real-time change exceeds an event threshold; and

    altering in real-time dynamics control laws of a controller of the structure to control according to a new set of variables based on the real-time change in the structure to provide updated dynamics control laws.
