This is a dawn of revolutionary materials that may provide a "quantum jump" in performance and multi-capability. The ultimate goal is to develop biologically inspired multifunctional materials with the capability to adapt their structural characteristics (stiffness, damping, viscosity, etc.) as required, monitor their health condition, perform self-diagnosis and self-repair, morph their shape, and undergo significant controlled motion over a wide range of operating conditions.. The purpose of these materials from the perspective of smart systems is their ability to minimize life-cycle cost and/or expand the performance envelope. Bio-inspired materials encompass smart materials and structures, multifunctional materials, and nano-structured materials. This book focuses on smart materials, structures, and systems, which are also referred to as intelligent, adaptive, active, sensory, and metamorphic. The twenty-first century might be called the "Multifunctional Materials Age." The inspiration for multifunctional materials comes from nature, and therefore these are often referred to as bio-inspired materials
Dan Clingman said Great Referance. One of the best book on designing piezoelectric composite structures . Theory is well presented and backed up with relevant examples.
" one of the most comprehensive and extensive treatises on smart materials and structures published in the last two decades. This is a book that I strongly recommend." Fabrizio Scarpa, The Aeronautical Journal
