DURIP-21, 3D SCANNING LASER VIBROMETER FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED TRANSDUCERS, ACTUATORS, AND ROBOTIC PLATFORMS
Abstract
We propose to acquire a 3D scanning laser vibrometer (Polytech Scanning Laser Vibrometer) accurate measurement of additive manufactured transducers, actuators and robotic platforms. The proposed acquisition will enable DoD to develop full knowledge and capabilities to design and print custom transducers and obtain accurate performance metrics. Additionally, having the ability to accessing 3D deformation and large frequency range (up to 24 MHZ) will inspire novel technological innovations for high torque actuations, all-in-one hydrophone and beam forming devices, as well as ultrasonic motors, imagers, artificial intelligence for material design, robotics and structural health monitoring. The equipment will also benefit a wide range of disciplines and multiple users across the campus at UCLA from mechanical design, vibrations, to additive manufacturing and MEMS device.
