Smart materials and structures is an area of technology which has been around for approximately 30 years or more where materials and structures are augmented by sensing and actuation functionality, and those functions are combined with control elements, all becoming an integral part of the materials and structures considered. This book collects selected Plenary Lectures and Key-Note Lectures from the VI Eccomas Thematic Conference on Smart Structures and Materials (SMART'13), June 24-26, 2013, Torino, Italy. The conference deals with materials and structures that are augmented with sensing and

Composite structures are massively exploited in many engineering fields. For instance, the state-of-the-art civil aircraft (B787 and A350) are mostly made of composite materials. The design of composites leads to challenging tasks since those competencies that stemmed from the adoption of metallic materials are often inadequate for composites. Insights on many different disciplines and tight academic/industrial cooperation are required to fully exploit composite structure capabilities.
