Structural Enhancement Utilizing Smart Materials: Experiments and Applications Involving Piezoelectric Actuators and Shape Memory Alloys

Smart materials, within the realm of structural engineering, are mainly used as either sensoric mechanisms or as structural damping mechanisms. For the most part, structural enhancement utilizing smart materials is not seen in main stream structural engineering practices. Piezoelectric ceramics and...
