Complex composite structures with integrated piezoelectric transducers
International audience; Nowadays, in different industrial fields as transport or aerospace, a research effort is conducted to reduce the structural weight. One of the most promising solutions is the use of composite structures due to their high stiffness, their low mass density and their low damping factor. At the same time, there is an intensification of the operational dynamic environment and an increase of durability requirements. These different expectations seem to be contradictory. One solution to manage these points is to design and manufacture smart composite structures with a fully distributed set of integrated piezoelec-tric transducers. These structures are able to modify their m…
SmaRt Composite StructurE (Project SyRaCuSE) Towards mastering challenges concerning the product lifecycle
International audience; Since the middle of the 80’s, smart composite structures are announced as being able to revolutionize the industrial world and become a main engine of economic growth. A smart composite structure is a structure combining distributed actuator and sensor networks embedded at the heart of the matter and a command and control unit. The idea is to mimic nature in order to produce industrial composite structures that will adapt their functionality to their environment in a predicted manner. This approach seems attractive with a lot of potential applications: Vibration suppression, non-Destructive Evaluation, Energy Harvesting, Internet of Things... In a way, the smart comp…
