Abstract

Engineering materials are used either for their inherent structural strength or for their functional properties. Often a feed back control loop is designed so that the mechanical response of the material is monitored and the environment that is causing such a response can be controlled. The evolution of a new kind of material termed “Intelligent”, “Smart”, or “Adaptive” by various researchers, e.g., Rogers (1988) and Ahmad (1988), witnesses a significant development in materials science whereby the referred-to smart material adapts itself to suit the environment rather than necessitating to control the same. In this context, development in the area of materials research aims at incorporating intelligence into engineering materials, enabling them to sense the external stimuli and alter their own properties to adapt to the changes in the environment.
