Smart System or Structure
What is a Smart Structure? A smart structure is a system containing multifunctional parts that can perform sensing, control, and actuation; it is a primitive analogue of a biological body. Smart materials are used to construct these smart structures which can perform both sensing and actuation functions.
If truly smart, these intelligent systems can determine their present state, decide what is the optimum or more desirable state and carry out an appropriate response in a controlled and timely manner, that is, a smart structure has the capability to respond to a changing external environment (such as loads and shape change) as well as to a changing internal environment (such as damage or failure).
Smart systems are defined as ensembles whose dynamic can be monitored or modified by distributed sensors and actuators, in accordance with an integrated control law, to accommodate time-varying exogenous inputs or changing environmental conditions.
Smart Material Based Systems (SMBS) are defined as electro-mechanical systems integrated with sensing, actuating, control and computational functions provided by such materials. Through system integration and compact design, systems with less complexity, lower cost and higher reliability can be built.
Smart materials are those that receive, transmit or process a stimulus and respond by producing a “useful” reversible effect. They are often also called “responsive” or “intelligent” materials and depending on changes in some external conditions or the type of stimuli, "responsive" materials change their properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance), their structure or composition, and/or their functions.
