Autonomic Materials and Structures
Two major criteria governing the development of new load-bearing structures are maximum load-carrying capability per unit weight/volume and the incorporation of a variety of functional properties (e.g. electrical or thermal conductivity) dictated by the system requirements. Traditionally, these two issues are addressed separately, resulting in incremental improvements in mono-functional materials. However, dramatic improvements in system-level efficiency can be achieved by developing multifunctional materials that inherently possess the capacity to meet multiple requirements simultaneously. Autonomic materials and structures represent a new paradigm in multifunctional materials design in which adaptation and response is achieved in an independent and automatic fashion. Nature provides many examples of such systems with varied capabilities including self-diagnosis, self-repair, self-healing, self-sufficiency, self- regulating, as well as reconfiguration and adaptation on demand. This symposium is intended to provide an overview of how autonomic capabilities can be developed and integrated into modern materials and structures.
