Abstract |
: |
This Research is focus on the study and improvement of the properties of smart materials in response to external conditions such as temperature, stress, electrical charge, magnetic field, etc. New materials are designed and fabricated according to their missions using new technologies. Processing of thermosets and thermoplastics composites and composite mechanical design criteria are investigated. Our approach is involve two levels: synthesizing composite materials from known constituents and synthesizing new materials that have smart functionalities. Smart materials such as electroactive ceramics, alloys (shape memory and magnetostrictive), fiber optics, polymers (electroactive and elastomeric), fire resistance composites, and magnetic smart materials are designed and characterized. The research is begin by design composite plate embedded by shape memory alloy (SMA) and simulate the process of controlling the composite plate by the SMA numerically using the ABAQUS software, several design techniques are made in order to investigate the optimum design of the smart structures, the design techniques are involve the size, location, and number of the shape memory alloys in the smart structure, the study results shows that the stress and strain of the smart structures is increased with the increment of the size and the number of the SMA wires, and decrease if the embedding axis is shifted above or beyond the axis of symmetry of the smart structure. |
