Abstract
The concept of smart materials and structures has been developed for more than a decade (Rowe, 1986; Measures, 1989; Sendeckyj and Paul, 1991; Spillman, Jr. et al, 1996). It mainly concerns the intelligent and effective control of the behaviour or the property of a given mechanical structure. A basic smart structural system must consists of sensors, actuators, control electronics and the structure itself. Such a system will require high-performance sensors to provide in-situ, real-time and precision measurement.
