  • Actuator and sensor system for composite structures
    Patent number: 7017421
    Abstract: An actuator and sensor system (1) for composite structures, especially carbon-fiber reinforced plastic structures (10) with piezo-ceramic actuators, particularly for active vibration dampening and/or shape control purposes, as well as fiber Bragg grating sensors (30), particularly in the form of strain measurement sensors. The piezo-ceramic actuators are designed as piezo fiber modules (20a, 20b) and the fiber Bragg grating sensors (30) are at least partially embedded in the piezo fiber modules (20a, 20b).
    Type: Grant
