Electroactive Elastomeric Structure (EAES) for Hydroacoustic Applications.
Abstract
The emphasis in the first quarter of the program has been on materials modeling, formulation of state-of-the-art electroactive materials, verification of materials integrity in the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Quiet Water Tunnel with a series of stability tests, and preparation for the first performance test series. Work is proceeding well in all areas with no major problems. A particular highlight was the successful completion of a series of stability tests in the NUWC Quiet Water Tunnel that verified the integrity of the material, the fixturing arrangement, and the concept of a metallized scrim cloth electrode under representative operating conditions.
