Thermomechanical Response of Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composites

Thermomechanical Response of Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composites

This study examines the use of embedded shape memory alloy (SMA)actuators for adaptive control of the themomechanical response of composite structures. Control of static and dynamic responses are demonstrated including thermal buckling, thermal post-buckling, vibration, sonic fatigue, and acoustic...
