W1: Adaptronic

Adaptronics - A new class
of smart structures
The concept of
Adaptronic is based on the development of adaptive
structural systems, which adjust to various conditions of
operations with embedded autonomous, self-controlling
mechanism. This requires the structural conform combination
of actuators and sensors made of new multifunctional
materials such as piezoceramic fibers and foils with
adaptive controllers.
Applications of
Adaptronic can be found in e.g.
- self-adjustable
wings of aircrafts
- active
suppression of vibration of aircraft turbine mountings,
robot arms and precision machines
- active noise
control, vibration isolation and enhanced torsional
stiffness in automobiles
- adaptive
controlled power collector of high speed
trains
- noise
reduction of magnetic resonance tomograph
(MRT)
The symposium is
aimed to demonstrate the progress in above and new
applications based on structural conformed embedded
functional materials. Recent results of the German project
ADAPTRONIC supported by the German Ministry of Research
(BMBF) will also be presented.
