“…It was found that impact damage behaviour of smart composite is more affected by SMA and temperature than base composite and residual strength of composite is affected by impact damage. [38] embedded the SMA wires in between the glass fabric layers and silicon rubber for fabrication of smart composites. For producing large deformations, the shape of structure was n-shape.…”

Metallic structures, in various industrial fields such as transport and aerospace, are mostly replaced by composite structures having less weight and good strength. There is also a need of intensification of the operational dynamic environment with high durability requirements. So a smart composite structure is required that can manifest its functions according to environmental changes. One method of producing smart composite structures is to embed shape memory alloys in composite structures. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have significant mechanical and thermodynamic properties and are available in very small diameters less than 0.2mm. These SMAs are embedded into composites for obtaining smart composites having tunable properties, active abilities, damping capacity and self-healing properties. Shape memory alloys are available in different shapes as wires, sheets, foils, strips, etc. For smart composites, mostly SMA embedded are in wire shape. Different techniques are used for embedding SMA wires in composites. SMA wires can be embedded between layers of laminates of composites, or embedded directly as reinforcement in matrix and can be woven into fabrics and used as a reinforcement. This paper reviews the different techniques of embedding SMA wires in composite structures, their pros and cons and their applications.

“…So these smart composite structures can be used as large deflection smart materials. Jung et al [39] embedded Nitinol wires in glass fibre reinforced composite to develop an actuator for air intake. After heating SMA wires by providing current it was found that the smart structure deflected 15°.…”

In this study, a crawling robot belonging to soft morphing structures using a shape memory alloy (SMA) wires embedded smart soft composite (SSC) was designed and fabricated. In order to obtain a high movement speed, the active components, SMA wires, were placed to go through the whole body to increase robot stride length. Then, the performances of the prototype including deformation measurements, actuation force, loading capacity and repeatability of actuation were tested. Lastly, the locomotion of the crawling robot was evaluated and its speed was of 0.83 mm/s.
