This document discusses several types of smart materials: shape memory alloys that change shape in response to temperature changes; smart gels that expand or contract due to stimuli like light, pH, or temperature; rheological materials that change state in response to stimuli like magnetic or electric fields; magnetostrictive materials that change shape with magnetic fields; and fullerenes like buckyballs that have potential applications in superconductors, medicine, and inhibiting HIV. These smart materials have applications in areas like aeronautics, medicine, bioengineering, damping vibrations, fuel injection systems, drug delivery, and trapping atoms or molecules.
Smart materials are materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly altered in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields.
The change in the material can also be reversible, as a change in stimulus can bring the material back to its previous state.

Large displacement finite element analysis and subsequent experimental work has been uscd 10
investigate the adhesive peel test; at this stage, only elastic behaviour has been considered.
Both non-cracked and cracked configurations have been analysed, representing initial and
continuous failure of the peel test. Analysis of the former indicated that initial failure was
caused by the adhesive principal stresses driving a crack towards the interface with the flexible
adherend. Investigation of the cracked configuration has shown that the amount of mode I1
loading at the crack tip is significant and is essentially independent of peel angle, load and
adhesive or adherend modulus, only decreasing as the adhesive becomes incompressible. Failure
(propagation) has been shown to occur at a critical applied bending moment for a particular
adherend and adhesive, independent of peel angle. Further, the strength (IoadJ’measured by the
peel test is not proportional to the actual strength ofthe adhesive, a small increase in the adhesive
strength causing a much larger increase in the applied peel load. The adhesive peel test exists in a number of forms such as the stripping, “T”,
floating roller and climbing drum tests. These are all essentially variations
of a common theme, shown schematically in Figure 1. A peel load is applied
at some angle to the adhesive through a flexible adherend. This tests the
adhesive in its weakest mode, since strengths from shear lap tests are many
times greater than those from peel tests even for high peel strength adhesives.
This is because the load, P, and more importantly, the bending moment, M,
due to the moment of the load about the bond end (see Figure 1) are reacted
over a very small region of the adhesive at the bond end, thus causing high
local stresses.
The various peel tests have only been used in a comparative manner,
largely because of the lack of information about the adhesive stress distribution. Further, small modifications of adhesive structure, such as adding

4. Discuss the features of different types of advanced materials with examples
Solution
Answere: Advanced materials are divided according to the there material properties and
applications.
Solid materials have been conveniently grouped into three basic classifications:
1.Metals,
2.Ceramics, and
3.Polymers.
viz. semiconductors, biomaterials, automobile,smart materials, and nanoengineered materials;
Examples include electronic equipment (camcorders, CD/DVD players, etc.), computers, fiber-
optic systems, Aero spacecraft, aircraft, and military rockets.
Semiconductors
Semiconductors have electrical properties that are intermediate between the eletrical conductors
(viz. metals and metal alloys) and insulators (viz. ceramics and polymers). Furthermore, the
electrical characteristics of these materials are extremely sensitive to the presence of minute
concentrations of impurity atoms, for which the oncentrations may be controlled over very small
spatial regions. Semiconductors have made possible the advent of integrated circuitry that has
totally revolutionized the electronics and computer industries (not to mention our lives) over the
past three decades.
Biomaterials
Biomaterials are employed in components implanted into the human body for replacement of
diseased or damaged body parts.These materials must not produce toxic substances and must be
compatible with body tissues (i.e., must not cause adverse biological reactions). All of the above
materials—metals, ceramics, polymers,composites, and semiconductors—may be used as
biomaterials.
Materials of the Future:
Smart Materials
Smart (or intelligent) materials are a group of new and state-of-the-art materials now being
developed that will have a significant influence on many of our technologies.The adjective
“smart” implies that these materials are able to sense changes in their environments and then
respond to these changes in predetermined manners—traits that are also found in living
organisms. In addition, this “smart” concept is being extended to rather sophisticated systems
that consist of both smart and traditional materials. Actuators may be called upon to change
shape, position, natural frequency, or mechanical characteristics in response to changes in
temperature, electric fields, and/or magnetic fields.
Four types of materials are commonly used for actuators: shape memory alloys, piezoelectric
ceramics, magnetostrictive materials, and electrorheological/magnetorheological fluids.
For example, one type of smart system is used in helicopters to reduce aero-dynamic cockpit
noise that is created by the rotating rotor blades. Piezoelectric sensors inserted into the blades
monitor blade stresses and deformations; feedback signals from these sensors are fed into a
computer-controlled adaptive device,which
generates noise-canceling antinoise.
Nano engineered Materials
Until very recent times the general procedure utilized by scientists to understand the chemistry
and physics of materials has bee.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

2. What is a Smart Material?
Basically it’s a material that reacts quickly
to a stimulus in a specific manner.
The change in the material can also be
reversible, as a change in stimulus can
bring the material back to its previous
state.
3. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs)
Metals that exhibit pseudo-elasticity and
the “Shape Memory Effect”
The basic principle behind SMAs is that a
solid state phase change occurs in these
materials.
They switch between states of Austenite
and Martensite.
5. Appplications of SMAs
Popular SMAs are NiTi, CuZnAl, and
CuAlNi
Applications include:
Aeronautical

molecule (truncated
icosaheedron)
Three nanotubes can be made
by varying the chiral angle.
Arm-chair
Zig-zag
Chiral
Chiral angle determines
conductivity
15. Applications of fullerenes
