Active dynamic response tuning of adaptive composites utilizing embedded nitinol actuators
Adaptive composites utilizing embedded nitinol fibers have the unique ability to change their material properties, induce large internal distributed forces in a structure, and can modify the stress and strain distribution within a structure in a controlled manner. In this study, nitinol fibers are e...
