- Abstract
The fundamental principle and mechanical behavior of several intelligent material systems, such as shape memory alloy, piezoelectricity and fiber optic sensor etc. are discussed in this paper. Some application to civil engineering structures and related research are introduced briefly. The existing problems in the application and research are also presented at the same time. The future development of the intelligent material systems and structures are prospected and some proposals are put forward.
