Special Issue-AS ME 201 I Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS), Symposium on Enabling Technologies and Integrated System Design

摘要

The 2011 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures, and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS) was held from 18-20 September 2011, in Phoenix, Arizona. As in its prior incarnations, the conference was a highly successful and energetic forum in which to develop discussions and collaborations among the conference delegates in adaptive structures, intelligent systems, and structural health monitoring. Participants enjoyed the distinctive atmosphere of the desert climate at a special pioneer banquet that was held in the beautiful Sonoran desert with a traditional Arizona cookout, singing cowboy and his tricky horse Dusty, and ending with the spectacular native American hoop dance.
