All i could really find about smart skin, not sure if this even makes sense haha 

Smart material and smart structures are man-made engineered systems that mimic nature's ability to react to stimuli. Smart materials and structures are complex systems that contain active and passive components. It is often just a matter of scale whether a system is considered a smart material or a smart structure. How such a system responds is dependent on the combined performance of its active and passive components. Necessary to the use of these systems in applications is the ability to predict performance and assure structural integrity. There is no simple approach that addresses all issues related to smart materials or structures performance. Computational modeling addresses many of these issues simultaneously.
