The idea of smart materials is very much of the moment. ' Mike Glazer, University of Oxford A structure is an assembly that serves an engineering function. A smart structure is one that serves this function smartly i.e. by responding adaptively in a pre-designed useful and efficient manner to changing environmental conditions. Adaptive behavior of one of more materials constituting a smart structure requires nonlinear response. This book describes the three main types of nonlinear-response materials: ferroic materials, sort materials, and nanostructured materials. Information processing by biological and artificial smart structures is also discussed. A smart structure typical has sensors, actuators and a control system. Progress in all these aspects of smart structures has leant heavily on mimicking Nature and the all-important notion in this context has been that of evolution. Artificial Darwinia Read More
