Abstract

Adaptive composites integrate actuating and sensing materials into a structural material (e.g., the integration of thin shapememory alloy [SMA] wires can function as actuating elements into fiber-reinforced polymer composites). SMA composites can open new perspectives on the development of engineering structures and devices with adaptive shape, stiffness, damping, and other properties. Materials design involving the constitutive modeling of SMA composite thermomechanical responses is a key topic in the development of the adaptive composites. As such, example simulation results obtained using a recently developed composite model are presented.
