Smart Materials in Architecture [PDF]
International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa, 2016 The project activity presides over the choice of materials and technical capacity within two dimensions of action: the previous knowledge and the tension about the future. That allowed us to identify the succession of the “technological and material” paradigms that have come and gone, featuring the project with the arrival of new materials and ...

Ferroelectrics as Smart Mechanical Materials [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2017 The mechanical properties of materials are insensitive to space inversion, even when they are crystallographically asymmetric. In practice, this means that turning a piezoelectric crystal upside down or switching the polarization of a ferroelectric should not change its mechanical response.
