Sensory phenomena and measurement instrumentation for smart structures and materials
William B. Spillman Jr., Richard O. Claus · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1998
This conference focuses on sensory mechanisms in smart material systems, methods for the instrumentation of integrated smart structural systems, and techniques for the characterization of smart or designed materials that are substantially different from methods used to characterize more conventional materials. In this paper, an overview of the purpose of the conference will be provided describing its place within smart structures research, the conference structure will be discussed, and some of the conference papers of note will be previewed.
