Abstract
This article introduces some analytical and experimental researches on the application of smart materials, especially shape memory alloys (SMAs) and FBG optical fibers to control the shape and vibration of
aerospace structures such as the inflated cylindrical beam and wing. In the first section, the methodology
for adjusting the configuration of inflated cylindrical beam using SMA thin film is presented. The second
one is about the aeroelastic characteristics of Smart Composite Wing fabricated using SMA actuators and a
FBG optical flber sensor.
