Smart structures are able to adapt, alter or change in response to external stimuli. The analysis and design of smart structures involves a highly multi-disciplinary effort which includes structures, materials, dynamics, control and design. Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a suitable candidate for actuator in the smart structure design as it can be activated to alter the shape of the structure. This paper proposes a design for smart composite structure suitable for aerospace applications. Finite element method (FEM) was used to analyze a designer structure which is able to meet the requirements for smart structure as well as determining the placement of the actuators within the structure. Due to the nonlinear behavior of the SMA actuator, it is critical to incorporate a feedback control system that is able to accurately morph the structure. A prototype of the smart composite structure was fabricated and its performance was analyzed.
