Smart Materials, Structures, and Mathematical IssuesCraig A. Rogers Selected from a US Army Research Office Workshop, this collection of papers describes applications in electrorheological fluids, sensor/actuator films, self-adaptive structures, and shape-memory materials. Smart materials, a new class of materials of strategic and economic importance, are viewed as providing new opportunities in polymer materials, ceramics, electronic materials, metals, and composite materials.
