Smart materials could be fused into adaptive structures for aerospace applications, strategically immersed in the structural elements to facilitate an immediate response to alterations in operational demands and natural surroundings. Warranting the capacity to change the structure's stiffness, damping properties, and shape, piezoelectric actuators, electroactive polymers, and shape-memory alloys are a few examples of such elements. This optimization enhances the structure's efficiency and performance. Aerospace structures have a potential for autonomous adjustment reduction of vibrations, damage repair, and optimalization of drag, thus lessening the likelihood of damage. Mitigating the drag can help reduce the fuel consumption. Over time and design evolution, the incorporation of smart materials into the composite structures has made it possible to incorporate features resulting in dynamic interaction, making the aerospace objects more adaptable and rugged.
