This book describes the behavior, underlying principles and design of self-healing materials, structures, machines, and systems. Self-healing is a ubiquitous phenomenon that appears in many systems ranging from the molecular scale up through to large macroscale systems and in domains ranging from materials such as self-healing polymers, to self-sealing tires, water distribution networks, and information systems, including control systems for damaged aircraft. Self-healing extends performance and endurance in ways that are just not possible otherwise. This book presents a unifying holistic approach to the operation and design of self-healing systems. It acts as a valuable reference for students, researchers, and engineers that are interested in understanding self-healing mechanisms and acquiring techniques to extend the performance and endurance of the structures, machines, and systems that they build, design, and study.
