The premise of this research is to integrate sensing and actuation functions into a fibre composite material system. Fibre composites, which are anisotropic and heterogeneous, offer the possibility for local variations in their material properties. Embedded fibre optics are herein used to sense, while shape memory alloys provide actuation capabilities to the resulting composite. The definition of the geometry, inspired by the organization strategies found in biological composites, complements the functioning of the adaptive material system at both local and global levels, allowing it to display integrated functionality.
