Electroactive Elastomeric Structures (EAES) for Hydroacoustic Applications.

Abstract

The emphasis in the second quarter of the program has been on materials formulation and preparation for the initial performance test series. The redesign and construction of a square cross section flow path for the NUWO quiet water tunnel has been a major effort that has now been successfully completed. Improved electroactive elastomers have been formulated using advanced electrorheological materials that have substantially increased the materials response. Materials Selection. A baseline electroactive elastomer material design was selected for the pending performance test series at NUWC. (MM)
