An Introduction to Smart Materials and Adaptive Systems
2
What are smart materials?• The technology paradigm states that a smart material is a structure that
involves the integration of actuators, sensors, and controls with a material or structural component. This definition describes the components but it does not state any system goals or objectives.
• The science paradigm states that a smart structure is a structural system with intelligence and life features integrated in the macrostructure and quite possibly the microstructure of the system to meet stated objectives and to provide adaptive functionality. It does not define the type of materials or state that actuators, sensors, or controls are used.

Smart Materials as Sensors
• Typical sensors consist of strain gauges, accelerometers, fiber optics, piezoelectric films and piezoceramics. Sensors convert strain or displacement (or their time derivatives) into electric field. Key factors are:
• Sensitivity to strain or displacement• Bandwidth,• Size. • Other less important factors include temperature sensitivity, linearity, Hysteresis,
electromagnetic compatibility, embeddibility, and needed associated electronics
14
Smart Material Sensors
• The sensitivity for resistor gauge is 30 volts per strain, for asemiconductor gauge is 103 volts per strain, and forpiezoelectric and piezoceramic gauges is 104 volts perstrain. The sensitivity for fiber optics sensors is defineddifferently, and is about 106 degree per strain.

Types of Smart Materials
Magnetostrictive Materials Electroactive Polymers
Piezoelectric Materials• Piezoelectricity describes the phenomenon of generating an electric
charge in a material when its subjected to a mechanical stress (direct effect) and conversely generating a mechanical strain in response to an applied electric field.
• Discovered in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie• Types
• Piezoceramic elements• Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)• Barium Titanate , Cadmium Sulfide
• Piezoelectric Polymer• PVDF • PVC
• Applications: Smart Sensors for Side Impact Diagnostics, Wiper activation Sensors, Ultrasonic motors, Motion/Force Sensing, Yaw rate sensors, Platform Stabilization Sensors, sonar array arrays for collision avoidance

• Experience reversible changes in rheological properties (apparent viscosity, plasticity, and elasticity) when subjected to a electric field.
• The fluid contains micron sized dielectric particles suspended in a nonconductive base medium

• First discovery: Roentgen in 1880• Two major types: Electronic and Ionic• Electronic polymers (generally need high fields)

Polyvinylidene Fluoride• Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), also abbreviated PVF2 is a polymer with
the strongest known piezoelectric properties of all polymers. The film iscommonly used in two states: one called the alpha phase and the othercalled the beta phase.
• In the alpha phase, PVDF is not polarized and is used as a commonelectrical dielectric. In the beta phase the material is polarized and has astrong piezoelectric effect.
• Attributes• High Compliance, Easily Customizable• Less force transduction than PZT, higher sensitivity• High Voltage Output (g constant is 10-20x higher than piezoceramics), Wide
Bandwidth (0.01 - 109 Hz)• Pyro-electric (DT of 1 °C gives 1.5 Volt open circuit)• Similar Performance to strain gages (with no conditioning needed)
Shape Memory Alloys
• A object in its low temperature (martensitic) state when plastically deformed with all of the external stresses removed, will regain its original (memory) shape when heated. Up to 8% extensional prestrain can be 100% recovered
• The effect was discovered in 1932. In 1962 researchers at the Naval Ordinance Labs discovered that Nickel-Titanium alloys exhibit this effect significantly
• Types• gold cadmium• Brass• Nitinol
• Superior strain 3-25 times higher than piezoelectrics• Increase in Young’s modulus of between 3 to 5 times
• Other material properties change with the state change• Extremely Low bandwidth materials
39
Shape Memory Alloys• Shape memory alloys possess the ability to undergo significant shape deformation
at low temperatures and retain this deformation until they are heated. When they are heated, they remarkably return to their original shape.
• The effect was first discovered in samples of gold cadmium alloys in 1932 and later in copper-zinc (brass) alloys in 1938. In 1962 researchers at the Naval Ordinance Labs discovered that Nickel-Titanium alloys exhibit this effect significantly.
• Ni-Ti alloys (Nitinol) have received a significant amount of press lately because of the high recoverable strains (up to 10%) associated with this material. There are at least 18 other alloys however that exhibit this effect.

Shape Memory Alloys• SMA’s are thermal
mechanical devices• When the structure is
heated a shape change occurs
• When the structure cools it must deformed to exhibit the behavior SMA Demonstration

adjustment of thought.
