Book Description
Smart/intelligent systems employ active materials as sensors/actuators to respond to environmental conditions for next-generation machines and structures - applications ranging from everyday life to space exploration missions, from civilian products to military needs, from robots to information/communication technology. It is not surprising, then, that the development of smart materials systems and structures demand higher performance sensors/actuators with new and reliable functions and a fully integrated composite system design. This requires the combination of active and passive materials systems, often including the coupling of relevant mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal or other physical/chemical properties. This book bridges the fields of smart materials, sensing and actuating devices, and intelligent/smart systems, and provides an opportunity for researchers from related disciplines to build an interdisciplinary research field and community. Topics include: ferroelectrics and piezoelectrics; nanomaterials and nanofabrication; shape-memory alloys and magnetomaterials; active polymers and soft matters; and other materials, devices and characterization.

Book Description
Smart/intelligent systems is a primary technology for present and future applications in areas ranging from everyday life to aerospace missions, from civil to military environments, from robots to information technology. Smart materials are the critical foundation for high-performance smart devices, and smart devices are fundamental components for smart systems. The three cannot be separated. This book bridges the fields of smart materials, sensing and actuating devices, and intelligent systems, and provides an opportunity for researchers from all three arenas to channel information into a coherent, interdisciplinary community. Topics include: piezoelectric actuators; novel devices and systems; shape memory alloys and magnetostrictive devices; nanometer-scale processing and properties; piezoelectric materials; sensor materials and devices; and electroactive polymer actuators.

Book Description
Presenting unified coverage of the design and modeling of smart micro- and macrosystems, this book addresses fabrication issues and outlines the challenges faced by engineers working with smart sensors in a variety of applications. Part I deals with the fundamental concepts of a typical smart system and its constituent components. Preliminary fabrication and characterization concepts are introduced before design principles are discussed in detail. Part III presents a comprehensive account of the modeling of smart systems, smart sensors and actuators. Part IV builds upon the fundamental concepts to analyze fabrication techniques for silicon-based MEMS in more detail. Practicing engineers will benefit from the detailed assessment of applications in communications technology, aerospace, biomedical and mechanical engineering. The book provides an essential reference or textbook for graduates following a course in smart sensors, actuators and systems.

Book Description
Smart systems can both sense a change in the environment and respond to that change in a useful way. Central to the operation of smart systems are materials that can serve as sensors and actuators: shape-memory, piezoelectric, and magnetostrictive materials, to name but a few. This book addresses materials issues related to smart systems including: shape-memory alloys and their applications; magnetostrictive materials and their applications; piezoelectric sensors and actuators; electrically/magnetically actuated materials; thin-film sensors; optical systems; damping materials; novel materials and mechanisms; and characterization and modelling. Papers on alternative sensing and actuating mechanisms are featured. Materials for gas sensors, electrochromic devices, magnetorheological fluids and thermoplastic elastomers are described.

Book Description
Special Features: · All the authors of this book are stalwarts in their respective field and are key people in promoting the technology and subject.· This book emphasizes analytical and computational modeling. · It includes in-depth discussion of mechanics, coupled multi-physics, electronics, control, and scaling effects as well as finite element analysis. · Relating all of the above to particular examples of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and smart devices is a highlight of this book. · Complementing the modeling aspects, the book includes organized summaries of a variety of devices and systems, details of packaging and integration, and case-studies of representative devices. · Prior disciplinary background is not assumed in presenting the material.· Many worked-out examples, context-relevant problems within the chapters, and practice exercises are included in all chapters. It is thus suitable for self-study by practicing engineers and researchers in many disciplines.· Unavailability of a book that covers both micro and smart systems at the fundamental level.· Excellent pedagogy with:" 230+ Illustrations" 25 Tables" 100+ Exercise Questions" 45 Your Turn questions for students wanting to invest time in researching." About 50 Problems and Examples within chapters About The Book: This book essentially deals with the basics of microsystem technology and is intended principally as a textbook at the undergraduate level; however, it can also be used as background book at the postgraduate level. The book makes an effort to provide an introduction to smart materials and systems. The aim of this book is to present adequate modeling details so that readers can appreciate the analysis involved in microsystems (and to some extent, smart systems) and thereby enabling them to get an in-depth understanding about simulation and design. Therefore, the book will also be useful to practicing researchers in all branches of science and engineering, who might be interested in applications where they can use this technology. The book presents adequate details of modeling of microsystems as well as addresses their fabrication and integration.
