Abstract
A key feature of smart materials is their ability to convert energy from one form into another. For instance, piezoelectric materials deform when exposed to an electric field, thus converting electrical energy to mechanical energy. Other common smart materials include magnetostrictives, magnetorheological fluids, shape memory alloys, and electroactive polymers. These materials couple different physical effects, e.g., thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical. In this chapter, we ...
