Research is actively pursued aimed at applying multifunctional capabilities of smartness and intelligence to existing and novel structures and systems. Degree of smartness/intelligence varies from semi-passive smart materials, which adaptively respond to an external stimulus, by varying some of their characteristics, to mechatronic systems that embody the inherent capability of self-sensing, diagnosis and control by the synergistic integration of smart materials, sensors, actuators and control electronics. The dream is for future structures and systems, where integrated smart devices would be used to sense exogenous stimuli and internal material conditions decide on course of action, and then autonomously implement an effective reaction strategy.
A number of applications and integrations of smart materials, devices and structures into industrial systems are emerging nowadays. More are in the offing, driven by the availability of new multifunctional materials and by the exponential increase in computing capabilities, and refined design, modelling, control and optimisation strategies that create the premises for a potential expansion to smart autonomous structures and systems.
The symposium, which follows the ones on the same subject organized in the frames of CIMTEC 2008, 2012 and 2016, will highlight advances in adaptive materials and in novel sensor/actuator and micro systems, and their integration in mechatronic structures and systems of various complexities.
Among the scopes of the Symposium will be:
Contributions are sought from experts of materials science, theoretical and applied mechanics, electronics, electromechanics and manufacturing.
