Smart materials and structures is an area of technology which has been around for approximately 30 years or more where materials and structures are augmented by sensing and actuation functionality, and those functions are combined with control elements, all becoming an integral part of the materials and structures considered. This book collects selected Plenary Lectures and Key-Note Lectures from the VI Eccomas Thematic Conference on Smart Structures and Materials (SMART’13), June 24-26, 2013, Torino, Italy.
The main objective for this collection of 80 peer reviewed papers was to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals to present their latest experiences and developments activities in the field of Smart Systems and their Applications in Aerospace, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Systems, Biomechatronics and Neurorehabilitation.
