智能材料和智能结构

Intelligent Material and Intelligent Structures

智能材料(intelligent material)是指具备感知和响应外界变化能力的材料。智能结构(intelligent structures)可通过感知外界变化,在分析有关信息的基础上作出适当反应,从而提高结构的功能、寿命或生存能力。此概念出现于材料、力学、检测、控制等多学科领域,对下个世纪新学科的生长有着十分重要的意义,因而引起了各发达国家的极大兴趣和关注。

Some basic concepts and current research status are introduced,associated with the intelligent material and struc- tures.Electro-rheological material structure with FOS embedded.Sensing can be considered as an example for engineering systems where variable performance is desired.
