    • The Smart Approach — An Introduction to Smart Technologies
    • Sensing Systems for Smart Structures
    • Vibration Control Using Smart Structures
    • Data Fusion — The Role of Signal Processing for Smart Structures and Systems
    • Shape Memory Alloys — A Smart Technology?
    • Piezoelectric Materials
    • Magnetostriction
    • Smart Fluid Machines
    • Smart Biomaterials — “Out-Smarting” the Body's Defence Systems and Other Advances in Materials for Medicine
    • Natural Engineering — The Smart Synergy
     
    Readership: Undergraduates and researchers in materials science and engineering, electrical & electronic engineering, systems engineering and aerospace engineering.
     
    “All contributions are presented in a simple and non-mathematical approach. This book is particularly suited to scientists who are already involved in one sector of smart technologies and would like to broaden their knowledge or are willing to expand their activities to another field. Also, because of the simple approach used to introduce the various topics and the large number of examples presented it could be of great help for Masters or PhD students who are beginning their projects in their field.”
