Fiber composite materials with integrated piezoceramic plates

摘要

In contrast to conventional lightweight material like aluminium or titanium, fiber composites offer the possibility to integrate functional eleemnts directly into the material. Thus, multifunctional materials are developed which have the ability to serve more than the load-carrying function. As there is extenisve work on the field of integration of thin piezoceramic plates and foils into carbon fiber reinforced polymeres, this will be focused on in this paper.
