4.QUASI-DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC SENSOR ARRAY IN SMART MATERIAL AND STRUCTURE
7.The Giant Magnetostrictive Material (GMM) is a new type of magneto/electro-mechanical energy conversion Smart Material (or Function Material). Due to its giant Magnetostrictive strain coefficient, high power density, high electromechanical coupling coefficient, and high response speed, this new kind of smart material is very suit to be a driver component for small high-speed on/off valve.
9.The progress in monodomain liquid crystal elastomer(LCE),a novel smart material,is reviewed in this paper.The physical principle of spontaneous reversible shape change of monodomain LCE is analyzed.Then,the LCEs with thermal-mechanical effect and LCEs with photo-mechanical effect and their potential applications in artificial muscle and shape memory materials are investigated.
