The document discusses smart materials and their applications in engineering. It defines smart materials as materials that can change their mechanical properties in response to external stimuli like magnetic fields, temperature, or electric currents. Some examples of smart materials mentioned are magnetorheological fluids, shape memory alloys, and piezoelectric materials. The document then provides more details on how these different smart materials work and examples of their applications, such as using shape memory alloys in medical implants or generating electricity with piezoelectric materials.

- 6. MR Fluids How do they work? Externally applied magnetic field in a direction normal to the fluid flow direction form dipoles in the iron particles Magnetic poles start attracting each others to the direction of the field, hence forming chains The chains then form a skeleton within the fluid, which gains the fluid controllable yield stress mr_animation2.gif
