Smart Materials in Smart Structural Systems

: Smart materials respond to the change of environment and stimuli (temperature, pressure, electric field, magnetic field etc.) and activate their functions according to the change. To minimize the deterioration of infrastructure, smart materials are one of the best tools. This paper reviews research into the application of six important smart materials—piezoelectric materials, fiber Bragg grating, magnetorheological (MR) fluid, carbon nanotubes, shape memory alloy, and rubber bearing in infrastructural management—by focusing on the literature review, basic useful characteristics and basic information collection of smart materials. Among them the study focuses on the introduction of smart materials, special advantageous characteristics and their application on vibration control, seismic control, structural health monitoring, measuring cracking, corrosion, strains, and so on of the structures.
