Smart Materials and Structures

Smart materials and structures represent a new generation of systems capable of sensing, analyzing, and responding to unpredictable external stimuli. By actively detecting and addressing potential damage, these systems enhance structural stability and safety. They typically integrate embedded smart materials, signal processors, and control units. Today, smart structures are applied across a wide range of fields, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, civil infrastructure, and robotics.

My research focuses on the design and development of smart structures embedded with materials such as Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), Magnetorheological (MR) and Electrorheological (ER) fluids/elastomers, Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), and Piezoelectric materials. I also explore other multifunctional materials for their potential as embedded sensors and actuators in advanced smart systems.

In collaboration with experts in electrical engineering, civil engineering, and computer science, we develop innovative AI algorithms and wireless communication systems to create smart structures capable of self-monitoring, self-diagnosis, and self-healing.

Our work advances structural health monitoring techniques for buildings and civil infrastructure, enabling systems that actively maintain their integrity and performance.

on 3rd place for the SmartHeal proposal! Picture 2

Exciting news! Our multi-university team, Dr. Sharifi (TSU RELLIS), Dr. Zabihollah (PI), Dr. Ebrahimi (Lamar), and Dr. Obeidat (SHSU), won 3rd place for the SmartHeal proposal!

In this work, we plan to mimic nature by developing intelligent, self-healing materials designed for biomedical applications by combining AI with multi-material/phase 3D printing. The developed materials can sense damage and respond adaptively, mimicking how the human body heals itself. By integrating AI, we aim to create smarter, more responsive systems and optimize the process and the products. In addition to biomedical applications, this new generation of materials has potential applications in the aerospace and automotive industries.

  • Impact behavior of foam-based sandwich panels filled with shear thickening fluid: A biomedical application

Falls are a leading cause of bone fractures among the elderly, particularly hip fractures resulting from falls. To address this issue, we propose the design of a foam-based brace integrated with shear thickening fluids (STFs) to provide enhanced impact protection. The brace consists of a lightweight, flexible foam structure embedded with STF-filled compartments, which remain soft during normal movements but stiffen upon sudden impact, effectively dissipating energy and reducing force transmission to the bones. This adaptive response mechanism offers a balance between comfort and protection, ensuring wearability for daily use while significantly lowering fracture risks. The proposed solution aims to enhance fall-related injury prevention for the elderly, improving their quality of life and reducing healthcare burdens associated with fall-related fractures.

  • Remaining Life Estimation of Power Towers Using Strain Sensor Data and LSTM Sequence-to-Sequence Models.

This study investigates the effectiveness of embedding Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in power transmission towers to assess the remaining service life of the structures following impacts from strong winds and hurricanes. FBG sensors monitor the structural integrity of the tower using online measurement of strain variations at critical structural points. To estimate the Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of the tower, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network has been implemented, providing predictive insights for proactive maintenance and risk mitigation. A prototype transmission tower was built and experimentally evaluated in a wind tunnel to assess the effectiveness and performance of the proposed RUL model. To simulate different hurricane categories, the experiment was conducted across wind speeds between 0 and 150 mph. FBG sensors installed at critical locations continuously captured real-time strain data, which was transmitted via a low-power micro FBG interrogator to a computer for input into the RUL prediction model. To quantify structural health, a mathematical Health Indicator (HI) was formulated based on the observed strain responses. The FBG sensors demonstrated high effectiveness in accurately detecting strain variations and monitoring the tower’s dynamic behavior under extreme wind loads. The findings support the implementation of condition-based maintenance strategies, enhance safety assessments, and enable early failure detection. This approach not only improves operational reliability but also facilitates timely intervention and maintenance during critical events.
