Experimental and numerical studies on a hybrid composite smart beam under quasi-static loading were carried out. The composite beam is consisted of two layers; carbon fibre/epoxy and SMA wire/epoxy layer. Carbon fibres as well as SMA wires were embedded in the host epoxy unidirectionally. SMA wires...
