Research Situation and Applications of Intelligent Materials

Abstract

In order to make the intelligent materials have a new development in the field of mechanical engineering, composition of intelligence materials is briefly introduced in this article; Design thought of intelligent materials are detailed analyzed; Main functions of the intelligent materials appropriate; it can quickly to recovery to original state after external stimulus elimination [3]. The measure indicator should also take into account the unified between the strong function and low complexity from the use, therefore, a quantitative indicator is proposed, it called intelligence effect represented by MI, it mean the number of functions divided by the system components number of the n-th . was described; Typical application of the intelligent materials are stated, optical fiber and shape memory alloy are used as a example. At last the research difficulties of energy conversion and storage of intelligent materials are detailed discussed, and the future research direction of intelligent materials is pointed out. In the future, the development direction of intelligent materials mainly include these aspects, such as the study of bionics theory on conceptual design of intelligent materials, the study of intelligence material intrinsic properties and evaluation system of intelligence quotient, the study of dissipative II. INTELLIGENT MATERIAL DESIGN IDEAS Design ideals of intelligent materials are relative with the following factors: material development history, influence of artificial intelligence computer [4], intelligent materials manufacturing, software function material, the material aspirations, energy delivery, and materials with the timeline. Development and design ideas of intelligence materials should start from two different point of view, one is the bionic technology, another is structures characteristic of the intelligent material itself. structure theory applied in intelligent materials, the principles of complex integration and design theory of intelligence materials, the nonlinear theory of integrated intelligent structure, the humanoid intelligent control theory, etc. A. Bionic technology Keywords-sensitive materials; optical fiber; shape memory alloys; bionic technology; sensor Due to the organism has environmental perception and response, it provides a blueprint for intelligence material design [5]. Intelligence is a characteristic of organisms, and the environmental perception and response inspire people to explore the adaptive of the material systems and structures from the bio-science and bio-engineering and approximation to the multiple functions of the organism.
