SMART MATERIALS 1. Introduction The primary characteristic of a ‘‘smart material’’ is that it has the ability to respond to external stimuli in a technically useful and technically controlled way. The words ‘‘technically useful’’ and ‘‘technically controlled’’ are emphasized since all materials respond to external stimuli of some sort or other (as a simple example‚ all materials respond to temperature by changing their volume)‚ however‚ to be considered a ‘‘smart material’’ the response must

Composite Materials A composite is a combination of two or more materials bonded together to gain some overall necessary goods. Types of composite include: laminated materials fibre composites particle composites. A laminate contains thin pieces of material fused together. Common examples are plywood and car windscreens. Wood is durable when exposed to a ductile force equivalent to its grain‚ but if the strength is across the particle it splits simply. A windscreen is made in a parallel way; two
