智能复合材料是宇航领域正在出现的最重要的材料领域之—。它将使结构和蒙皮的性能发生巨大变化。对于这种材料,目前还没有为人们公认的确切定义,不过我们可以将其看成是一些能根据所感受的环境变化“智慧”地实现自身功能的材料系统。这些材料系统仿照生物系统的原理,其中的传感器相当于神经系统,致动器相当于肌肉,而系统控制用的实时处理器则相当于大脑。 Smart Composites are the most important material area that is emerging in the aerospace field. It will make a dramatic difference in the performance of the structure and skin. There is currently no definitive definition of this material, but we can think of it as a system of materials that “intelligently” perform its own functions in response to changing environmental conditions. These materials systems are modeled on the principles of biological systems, where the sensor is equivalent to the nervous system, the actuator is the muscle, and the system-controlled real-time processor is the equivalent of the brain.
