Overview

Two key words for mechanical engineering in the future are ""micro"" and ""intelligence"". Materials and structures which have self-sensing diagnosis and actuating system, called intelligent or smart, are of growing importance in advanced technology. The IUTAM symposium on Dynamics of Advanced Materials and Smart Structures aimed at a fusion of materials and structures toward their intelligence. This book represents the symposium highlights, which consist of 45 papers presented by distinguished researchers from 17 countries. The papers' topics range from the materials science for sensors and actuators, such as active fluid, polymer, piezoelectric, shape memory and functionally graded materials, to structural dynamics and shape control, but also take in bio-structures and mathematical modelling for highly coupled phenomena. The book should be of interest to researchers and engineers from theoretical and applied mechanics, and also provides fresh ideas for engineers engaged with sound-, vibration- and shape-control in advanced industry.
