Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on materials able to autonomously change their properties in response to an external simulation is considered a promising field. Therefore, this Special Issue on Modeling and Simulations of Smart Materials aims to discuss state-of-the-art research on smart materials focusing, in particular, on their modeling and simulations, collecting contributions from universities, laboratories, research institutes, and industries.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions from all researchers working on smart materials, covering different topics ranging from their definition to the study, from an experimental and numerical point of view, of their behavior. Contributions on smart materials applications (smart actuators/structures) are also welcome.

The Special Issue will cover but not be limited to the following topics:

  • Smart materials;
  • Properties and characterization of smart materials;
  • Materials selection of smart materials;
  • Shape memory alloys (SMA);
  • Magnetic shape memory alloys;
  • Piezoelectric materials;
  • Self-healing materials;
  • Modelling and simulation of smart materials;
  • Design for manufacture of smart materials;
  • Smart actuators;
  • Smart structures.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome.

The study of the bifurcation, random vibration, chaotic dynamics, and control of laminated composite beams are research hotspots. In this paper, the parametric random vibration of an axially moving laminated shape memory alloy (SMA) beam was investigated. In light of the Timoshenko beam theory and taking into consideration axial motion effects and axial forces, a random dynamic equation of laminated SMA beams was deduced. The Falk’s polynomial constitutive model of SMA was used to simulate the nonlinear random dynamic behavior of the laminated beam. Additionally, the numerical of the probability density function and power spectral density curves was obtained through the Monte Carlo simulation. The results indicated that the large amplitude vibration character of the beam can be caused by random perturbation on axial velocity. Full article

The remarkable properties of shape memory alloys (SMA) are attracting significant technological interest in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, a nonlinear dynamic analytical model is developed for a laminated beam with a shape memory alloy layer. The model is derived based on Falk’s polynomial model for SMAs combined with Timoshenko beam theory. In addition, axial velocity, axial pressure, temperature, and complex boundary conditions are also parameters that have been taken into account in the creation of the SMA dynamical equation. The nonlinear vibration characteristics of SMA laminated beams under 1:3 internal resonance are studied. The multi-scale method is used to solve the discretized modal equation system, the characteristic equation of vibration modes coupled to each other in the case of internal resonance, as well as the time-history and phase diagrams of the common resonance amplitude in the system are obtained. The effects of axial velocity and initial conditions on the nonlinear internal resonance characteristics of the system were also studied. Full article
