They will be able to model and test coupled systems. They will be acquainted with the material peculiarities, their main sensing/actuation features as well as their use in practical applications. Moreover, they will be aware of their possible advanced use in mechanical systems in which the material properties are exploited in the context of multi-domain interaction with the hosting structure (e.g., vibration attenuation, monitoring, energy harvesting, adaptability).
