J045034 Development of Disaster Mitigation and Sustainable Engineering

Abstract

This paper describes the new engineering "Disaster Mitigation and Sustainable Engineering" where the "Smart Materials and Structural Systems" field can be effectively applied. A couple of examples such as a smart material and structural system based on honeycomb like active laminates to be used against Tsunami, which has been investigated by the authors and many others, are also introduced in this paper and discussed.
