Smart materials are revolutionary new engineering materials/intelligent structures that sense and respond to their environment. Emerging concepts for mission adaptable wings, helicopter blades and the active suppression of submarine noise are reviewed and used to identify the important basic elements of these intelligent structures. The fundamental priciples of the main sensing approaches (based on piezoelectric, fiber optic, luminescent and other phenomena) are described together with the physical principles underlying approaches to actuation (piezoelectric/electrostrictive materials, magnetostriction, shape memory alloys and electrorheological fluids). The best methods for design and processing of affordable smart materials are only beginning to be addressed by researchers; concurrent engineering and intelligent processing of materials concepts will be essential to transition smart materials from the laboratory into applications.
