This lecture covers the development of smart composites, focusing on shape morphing, crack closure, and the integration of shape memory alloys (SMAs) and electro-active polymers for impact protection. It explores the use of magneto-strictive materials, self-repairing concepts, and various sensing fibers for structural health monitoring.
