Smart Materials and Intelligent System Design

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Smart Structures and Intelligent System are becoming an integral part of new aerospace and automobile systems due to high performance and fast response potential. Knowledge in this field is multi-disciplinary in nature involving materials, composites, basic electronics, control system and informatics. In this short course, I intend to convey the core flavor of the field by introducing the basic concepts behind such system along with some industrial applications developed in the SMSS laboratory of IIT Kanpur.
