Abstract
The field of smart structures encompasses a large number of engineering disciplines. A clear understanding of the concepts of smart structures depends on in depth knowledge of mechanics of materials, mechanical vibrations, structural analysis, sensors and actuators and control theory. This field is truly multidisciplinary in nature and promises many technological innovations. A brief survey of multidisciplinary research in smart structures is provided in this paper
