Aime & Scopes
- Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures. A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter. To this end, the journal will consider articles in the following areas. /// Smart materials development and application—including, but not limited to, shape memory alloys and polymers, electro and magnetorheological materials, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, multiferroics, piezomagnetics, electro and magnetostrictive materials, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, electro and magnetocaloric materials, electrochromics, IPMCs, electroactive polymers, energy storage materials, self-healing materials and multifunctional materials in general. /// Smart materials utilized as sensors and actuators with applications at any scale. /// Adaptive structural systems, actively controlled structures with smart materials and other non-traditional actuators. /// Sensor and sensor networks for smart materials and structure applications, processing of sensor information for adaptive control or structural health monitoring as well as integration of these sensor networks into materials and structures. /// Smart optical materials for modification in spectral shifts and refractive index shift. /// Structural health monitoring with applications to ground vehicles, aircraft and civil infrastructure. /// Intelligent systems, integrated with sensors, actuators and controllers, applied to automation and robotic systems that utilize smart material systems. /// Energy harvesting systems including modelling, applications and implementation issues. /// Smart material systems that utilize biomimetics and bioinspiration. /// 3D-printed smart materials and their applications. /// Smart textiles and wearable technology.
