Smart Materials in Structural Health Monitoring,Control and Biomechanics

　　Smart Materials in Structural Health Monitoring， Control andBiomechanics presents the latest developments in structuralhealthmonitoring， vibration control and biomechanics usingsmartmaterials. The book mainly focuses on piezoelectric， fibreoptic andionic polymer metal composite materials. It introducesconceptsfrom the very basics and leads to advanced modelling（analytical/numerical）， practical aspects （includingsoftware/hardware issues）and case studies spanning civil，mechanical and aerospace structures， including bridges， rocks andunderground structures.This book is intended for practicingengineers， researchers fromacademic and R&D institutions andpostgraduate students in thefields of smart materials andstructures， structural health monitoring， vibration control andbiomedical engineering.
