Publisher's Synopsis
The many areas of intelligent systems and smart structures incorporating active materials are now emerging rapidly as an exciting broad-based discipline. These proceedings address the explosion in both theory and application of recent and ongoing developments in smart, intelligent or adaptive structures currently taking place in universities, industry and government laboratories.
Scientists and engineers working in underwater vehicle technology, aircraft systems, smart munitions, civil engineering; biomedical, robotics and space platforms will find this an invaluable reference.
