Piezocomposites for Active Surface Control

Abstract

This report summarizes the 30 month program to develop 1-3 piezocomposite SonoPanel transducers and SmartPanel transducers capable of pressure sensing, velocity sensing, and actuation. The program consisted of two technical tracks. Track 1 addressed the optimization, scale-up, and acoustic and environmental testing of SonoPanel transducers developed for underwater transmit and receive applications. Track 2 addressed the development of Smartpanels which combine net shape molded accelerometers and 1-3 pressure sensors co-located with a 1-3 actuator layer in a single device for active surface control applications.
