Smart Materials in Structural Health Monitoring, Control and
Biomechanics presents the latest developments in structural
healthmonitoring, vibration control and biomechanics using
smartmaterials. The book mainly focuses on piezoelectric, fibre
optic andionic polymer metal composite materials. It introduces
conceptsfrom the very basics and leads to advanced modelling
(analyticalnumerical), practical aspects (including
softwarehardware issues)and case studies spanning civil,
mechanical and aerospace structures, including bridges, rocks and
underground structures.This book is intended for practicing
engineers, researchers fromacademic and RD institutions and
postgraduate students in thefields of smart materials and
structures, structural health monitoring, vibration control and
biomedical engineering.
