Shape Memory Alloy Engineering: For Aerospace, Structural and
Biomedical Applications, Second Edition embraces new advancements
in materials, systems and applications introduced since the first
edition. Readers will gain an understanding of the intrinsic
properties of SMAs and their characteristic state diagrams.
Sections address modeling and design process aspects, explore
recent applications, and discuss research activities aimed at
making new devices for innovative implementations. The book
discusses both the potential of these fascinating materials, their
limitations in everyday life, and tactics on how to overcome some
limitations in order to achieve proper design of useful SMA
mechanisms.
Morphing Wings Technologies: Large Commercial Aircraft and Civil
Helicopters offers a fresh look at current research on morphing
aircraft, including industry design, real manufactured prototypes
and certification. This is an invaluable reference for students in
the aeronautics and aerospace fields who need an introduction to
the morphing discipline, as well as senior professionals seeking
exposure to morphing potentialities. Practical applications of
morphing devices are presented-from the challenge of conceptual
design incorporating both structural and aerodynamic studies, to
the most promising and potentially flyable solutions aimed at
improving the performance of commercial aircraft and UAVs. Morphing
aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape
substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during
flight. The book consists of eight sections as well as an appendix
which contains both updates on main systems evolution (skin,
structure, actuator, sensor, and control systems) and a survey on
the most significant achievements of integrated systems for large
commercial aircraft.
