报告内容摘要：

The synergistic integration of smart materials, devices, structures, machines, sensors, actuators, and control electronics can transform conventional passive structures and machines to active, adaptive, and “smart” structronic (structure + electronic) or mechatronic systems with inherent self-sensing, diagnosis, actuation and control capabilities. Research and development of the emerging technology of smart structures and structronic systems have been evolving for over three decades. Sophisticated multi-field/control coupling and multi-physics theories have been developed and numerous practical applications have also been proposed. This report focuses on histories, smart materials (e.g., piezoelectrics, electro-/magneto-/photo-strictive materials, shape memory materials, electro- and magneto-rheological fluids, polyelectrolyte gels, pyroelectric materials, magneto-optical materials, superconductors, etc.), precision devices (sensors and actuators), micro-/nano-actuations, smart structures, mechatronic and structronic systems, and photo-thermo-electro-magneto-mechanical systems encompassing elastic, temperature, electric, magnetic, light, and control interactions. Designs are emphasized; modern research issues are also discussed. 

报告人简介：

Prof. Hornsen (HS) TZOU is the Director of Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in College of Aerospace Engineering at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) (09/2015-…), the 1st--round Fellow of the QR Program of China, an ASME Fellow (1996), Professor Emeritus at the University of Kentucky. He joined Zhejiang University (09/2009-12/2015) after nearly 30-year service at the University of Kentucky (Dept. of Mechanical Engineering). He is among the pioneers in “smart structures and structronic systems.” His research and teaching interests encompass smart structures and structronic systems, precision mechatronics, hybrid multi-functional piezo/photo/flexo/megneto/electro/elastic structures/devices, design and micro actuation of biomedical devices and tools, dynamics and distributed sensing/control of discrete and distributed systems (shells, plates, etc.), nonlinear joint/contact dynamics and control, electromechanics, etc. He was invited and worked at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) (Kanagawa, Japan), Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan), the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg and German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) (Braunschweig, Germany), Amway Research R&D (IRI/ASEE Fellow, 1988), Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan) (2001 Chair of International Cooperation), NASA Levis, Harbin Institute of Technology (China), etc. He directed the StrucTronics and Design Lab (founded by NSF, JPL, ARO, NASA, AFOSR, Pratt-Whitney, IBM, Ford, industries, etc. since 1985) at UK and also worked at IBM (CAD/CAM and Printer R&D) and Wright Laboratory (Flight Dynamics Lab). Dr. Tzou has won six paper awards (including ASME and AIAA Best Paper Awards) and three NASA Class-1 New Technology Disclosure Awards (2001, 2003 and 2009). He has authored and co-authored ten research monographs and over 500 technical publications and was named “One of the Most Cited Authors” by the Journal of Sound of Vibration in 11/2006, “2011 top-ten cited paper” in Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, etc. He authored Piezoelectric Shells (Sensing, Energy Harvesting and Distributed Control)(2 editions) and Design of Smart Structures, Devices and Structronic Systems. He was Chair of the ASME Board on Technical Knowledge Dissemination (BTKD) (07/2012-11/2014), Executive Member of Technical Communities Operating Board (TCOB) and Chair of ASME Interdisciplinary Councils (11/2008-06/2012), a founding member of the ASME Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Committee, etc.
