SMART MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTION

       Smart Construction materials which is also known as intelligent materials, active materials,& adoptive materials, are those that have the capability to respond to changes in their condition or the environment to which they are exposed in a useful and controlled manner.                                                   

       Smart materials locate an extensive variety of utilization zones because of their fluctuated reaction to external jolts. The distinctive regions of use can be in everyday life aerospace, civil building applications & some others etc...

SMART MATERIALS PROPERTIES :

Mechanical stress.

Strain Electrical.

Magnetic field or Change in Temperature, Moisture, pH, and Light.

TYPE OF SMART MATERIALS :

👉 Shape Memory Alloys.

👉 Magneto-strictive Materials.

👉 Piezoelectric Materials.

👉 Electro-rheological Fluids.

👉 Electrochromic Materials.

SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS :

                                                   The shape memory alloys return to there original position when heated, Super-elasticity allows large deformations with limited or no residual strain.

MAGNETO-STRICTIVE MATERIALS :

                                                                   Magneto-strictive materials are a class of smart materials that can convert energy between magnetic and elastic states.

PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS :

                                                        Piezoelectric materials are capable of transforming mechanical strain & vibration energy into electrical energy. 

ELECTRO-RHEOLOGICAL FLUIDS :

                                                                Electro-rheological Fluids are basically consist of particles that are held in suspension by an non-conducting fluids.

ELECTROCHROMIC MATERIALS :

                                                              Electrochromic Materials can change their properties under the influence of an electrical voltage of current.

USES OF SMART MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTION :

# To control vibrations.

# To control noise reduction ,lighting, heat, etc.....
