Smart Materials and Nanotechnology

Materials in Aerospace and Defence

Smart Materials like piezoceramic materials, laminated composites etc. are used in aerospace industries to control the vibration in an aircraft component, de-ice the aircraft surfaces and for active control of broadband excitations. The smart advanced materials are designed for several functions in aerospace and defense. The functional materials are structurally designed to tailor thermal and electromagnetic characteristics and optimize the strength, weight, thermal, electromagnetic and stealth properties of a drone aircraft for aerodynamic and aero acoustic performance improvement.
