Description

Product Description In the last two decades, a great effort has been directed towards the development of new smart materials actuators and their corresponding application devices and systems. Currently, some smart materials actuators are commercially applied for several technologies including automotive technology, but some of the smart materials actuators are still far from meeting strict practical requirements such as reliability, cost-effectiveness and robustness against unexpected environment conditions. Therefore, it is timely and appropriate to present recent research on smart materials actuators in terms of material characterisation and advanced application systems in a single book. This book describes smart materials actuator technology from materials characterisations to device or system applications. The smart materials introduced in this book include magnetorehological fluid (MRF), magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), electrorheological fluid (ERF), piezoelectric material (PM), shape memory ally (SMA), dielectric elastomer (DE) and ionic polymer (IP). Both physical and chemical characterisations of each smart material are described in details in terms of actuating aspect. In addition, several application devices utilising each smart material are introduced to provide practical controllability as a potential candidate for new actuators. The application devices introduced in this book include MRF damper for automotive suspension, PM unimorph pump for micro-hydraulic system, MRE flexible structure for vibration control, IP biomimetic micro-robot and SMA civil structure and damper system for vibration attenuation. About the Author Professor Seung-Bok Choi received the B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from Inha University, South Korea, 1979. He received the M.Sc. and the Ph.D. degrees from the Michigan State University, U.S.A in 1986 and 1990, respectively. He is currently a Distinguished Inha Fellow Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Inha University, Incheon, South Korea. His research interests are control applications using smart materials such as electrorheological fluids, magnetorheological fluids, piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys. He has published more than 410 refereed international journal papers and two books in the area of smart materials and their applications; Piezoelectric Actuators : Control Applications of Smart Materials(ISBN : 978-1-4398-1808-4) , April 2010, Taylor & Francis Group CRC Press and Magnetorheological Fluid Technology : Applications in Vehicle Systems (ISBN : 978-1-4398-5673-4) , November 2012, Taylor & Francis Group CRC Press. He has also served as program committee and co-chairman for many international conferences including the SPIE Smart Structures Conference and the International Conference on ER Suspension and MR Fluid.
