"Smart Materials And Structures: New Research "Nova Science Publishers | English | June 30, 2007 | ISBN: 1600211070 | PDF | 6,1 MB
'Smart' materials respond to environmental stimuli with particular
changes in some variables. For that reason they are often also called
responsive materials. Depending on changes in some external conditions,
'smart' materials change either their properties (mechanical,
electrical, appearance), their structure or composition, or their
functions. Mostly, 'smart' materials are embedded in systems whose
inherent properties can be favourably changed to meet performance
needs. Smart materials and structures have widespread applications in:
Materials science - composites, ceramics, processing science, interface
science, sensor/actuator materials, chiral materials, conducting and
chiral polymers, electrochromic materials, liquid crystals,
molecular-level smart materials, biomaterials; sensing and actuation -
electromagnetic, acoustic, chemical and mechanical sensing and
actuation, single-measurand sensors, multiplexed multimeasurand
distributed sensors and actuators, sensor/actuator signal processing,
compatibility of sensors and actuators with conventional and advanced
materials, smart sensors for materials and composites processing; and,
optics and electromagnetics - optical fibre technology, active and
adaptive optical systems and components, tuneable high-dielectric phase
shifters, tuneable surface control. It also have applications in:
structures - smart skins for drag and turbulence control, other
applications in aerospace/hydrospace structures, civil infrastructures,
transportation vehicles, manufacturing equipment, repairability and
maintainability; control - structural acoustic control, distributed
control, analogue and digital feedback control, real-time
implementation, adaptive structure stability, damage implications for
structural control; and, information processing - neural networks, data
processing, data visualisation and reliability. This book presents
leading research from around the globe in this field.
