Abstract
Since the mid-1980s, scientists have been conducting international research into adaptive structures. Especially in America, Japan and Germany, renowned working groups are dedicated to the question of self-adaptive structures in mechanical engineering. The following terms were introduced for this purpose
-
Smart materials, smart structures, or smart systems
-
Intelligent materials/structures/systems
-
Adaptive materials/structures/systems
In Germany, the term “Adaptronics” was introduced in 1991 by an expert working group within the VDI (Association of German Engineers). “Adaptronics” is an artificial word that is composed of “adaptive” and “electronics”. This chapter provides an introductory overview of the research field of adaptronics and a critical literature review of previously published books on the topic of adaptronics - smart materials and structures.
„Man sollte sich nicht schlafen legen, ohne sagen zu können,
daß man an dem Tage etwas gelernt hätte.“
(“You shouldn’t go to sleep without being able to say
that you learned something that day.”)
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799)
