“…Smart hinges can be deformed into pre-defined shapes through a programming process but can subsequently return to their original shapes upon the application of external stimuli [1][2][3][4]. In comparison to SMAs, SMPs present many unique merits, including better shape recoverability [5], tunable mechanical properties [5], lightweight [6], affordability [7], and good manufacturability [8]. In addition, a wider range of external stimuli, such as electricity, light, magnetic fields, chemicals, and water content, can be utilized to induce shape change in smart hinges made from SMPs [5,9,10].…”

“…28 Interestingly, fiber optic sensors can be strategically embedded into fiber reinforced SMPC components during their manufacturing process. [30][31][32] Our previous studies revealed the ability of embedded optical fibers to send light energy into the SMPC materials for light activation, 30 analyze the curing kinetics of SMPCs, 33 and evaluate in-situ shape memory performances of SMPCs. 32 The state-of-the-art technique presented in this article can be used to monitor the real-time shape memory behavior of large-scale SMPC components such as deployable space habitats and solar panel arrays operating in their real working environment.…”

Herein dynamic temperature and strain profiles during the full shape memory cycles of a CFR SMPC were measured by means of DOFSs.…”
