“…This involves developments in research and applications oriented towards the study of newly conceived structural architectures, the dissemination of more accurate analysis methodologies, the rationalization of inspection methods and procedures, and the optimization of production processes, as well as towards use of new materials. On the basis of these themes, the lines of research involving composite materials and, more specifically, smart materials, are strategic [11]. In many cases, such smart materials are also referred to as multifunctional materials because they are required to perform multiple functions (self-healing and remodeling materials, materials for sustainability and energy, advanced manufacturing of multifunctional materials, sensor, actuation, and control) [12,13].…”
