Smart materials and structures [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 A smart structure is a system containing multifunctional parts that can perform sensing, control, and actuation; it is a primitive analogue of a biological body. Smart materials are used to construct these smart structures, which can perform both sensing and actuation functions.
