System identification of adaptive composites
Modern composites are non-homogeneous materials having high strength fibers embedded in a polymeric or metal matrix, and having directional properties. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) such as Nitinol can be embedded in composites for active control of structures. Since the micromechanics of composites in...
