Engineering Analysis of Smart Material Systems / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

The book provides a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the physical processes of active materials and the design and control of engineering systems.  It will also be a reference text for practicing engineers who might understand the basic principles of active materials but have an interest in learning more about specific applications.  The text includes a number of worked examples, design problems, and homework problems (with a solutions manual) that will be useful for both instructors and practicing engineers.
