The potential of active fiber composites made from piezoelectric fibers for actuating and sensing applications in structural health monitoring

Active Fiber Composites made from piezoelectric fibers were originally developed as actuators for adaptive materials systems. Their properties, however, also allow their use as sensor or emitter-receiver in variours applications. After presenting selected characteristics, the potential of Active Fib...

Zusammenfassung:Active Fiber Composites made from piezoelectric fibers were originally developed as actuators for adaptive materials systems. Their properties, however, also allow their use as sensor or emitter-receiver in variours applications. After presenting selected characteristics, the potential of Active Fiber Composites for structural health monitoring is discussed in comparison with that of conventional piezoelectric elements.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
