Introduction to Smart Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
A smart structure may be viewed as a structure or structural component on which are attached or in which are embedded sensors and actuators whose actions are coordinated through a control system imbuing the structure with the capability of responding spontaneously to external stimuli exerted on the structure in proportion to their magnitudes to ...

Transparent Deformable Thin Film Electric Heater for Stable and Accurate Control of High Temperatures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Au/GaOx‐based transparent heaters combine high optical transmittance and low sheet resistance with exceptional thermal stability up to 521°C for over 6 h. The interfacial GaOx layer suppresses dewetting of Au and enhances adhesion, ensuring mechanical robustness during deformation and reliability for real‐world applications including grilling ...

Smart materials and structure [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990
Fiber-optic sensors that are imbedded within composite materials could provide structural information during the life of the component, thereby avoiding many of the mechanical failures that today result in death, injury, or environmental accidents. Eventually this fiber-optic smart structure technology could lead to radical new thinking in terms of ...
