Adaptive structures contain actuators that enable the controlled modification of system states and characteristics. Furthermore, their geometric configuration as well as physical properties can be varied purposefully. The geometric configuration of adaptive fiber-reinforced plastics can be changed by varying the bending modulus of the matrix material. Hence, this research work presents the influence of thermosetting matrix material with different bending moduli on the deformation behavior of adaptive fiber-reinforced plastics. Firstly, shape memory alloys were converted into shape memory alloy hybrid yarn in order to realize this goal. Subsequently, shape memory alloy hybrid yarn was textile-technically integrated into reinforcing fabrics by means of weaving technology. The bending modulus of the thermosetting matrix material was changed by mixing modifier into it. The Seemann Corporation Resin Infusion Molding Process was used for infusion. Later, the deformation behavior of adaptive fiber-reinforced plastics was characterized. Results revealed that the maximum deformations of adaptive fiber-reinforced plastics with resin and modifier at a mixing ratio of 9:1 and 8:2 were increased to 34% and 63%, respectively, compared to adaptive fiber-reinforced plastics infiltrated by the reference resin. The maximum deformation speed during heating and cooling of adaptive fiber-reinforced plastic with the mixing ratio of resin and modifier at a value of 8:2 were 41.17 mm/s and 26.89 mm/s, respectively.
