European Conference on Smart Structures and Materials (2nd), Held at Glasgow, Scotland on 12-14 October 1994. Volume 2361.

Abstract

In this conference, we increase our exploration of the practical benefits which can be obtained by the application of the Smart Structures and Materials concept. Space scientists and engineers are used to waiting half their lives for the flilfilment of their plans. Their enthusiastic vibrations remain undamped. But the Smart Structures and Materials concept has many strings to its bow. Cunningly implemented, it can enhance safety and prolong performance and thereby save money! It is not surprising therefore that smart concepts are invading the more down-to-earth world of buildings and bags, medicine and manufictunng. Examples of these applications will be found in this conference, affirmation that the subject is moving along with a life of its own. (MM)
