A common configuration for a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester is the cantilevered beam with the piezoelectric device located near the beam root to maximize energy transduction. The beam curvature in this configuration is monotonically decreasing from root to tip, so the transduction per unit length of piezoelectric material decreases with increasing patch length. As an alternative to such conventional configuration, this paper proposes a so-called inertial four-point loading for beam-like structures. The effects of support location and tip mass on the beam curvature shapes are analyzed for four-point loaded cases to demonstrate the effect of these configurations on the total strain induced on the piezoelectric patch. These configurations are tested experimentally using several different support locations and compared with results from a baseline cantilevered beam. Performance comparisons of their power ratios are made, which indicate improvement in the transduction per unit strain of the four-point loading cases over the cantilevered configuration. The paper concludes with a discussion of potential applications of the inertial four-point loaded configuration.

Based on the ZM model for shape memory alloys, an analytical model is derived for a functionally graded material (FGM)/shape memory alloy (SMA) laminated composite cantilever beam subjected to concentrated force at the tip. The beam consists of a SMA core layer bonded to identical FGM layers on both sides. The FGM layer is considered to be elastic with an equivalent Young’s modulus related to those of the constituents by means of a power law. Phase transformation within the SMA layer is accounted for in deriving the analytical relations, which are validated against finite element analysis results.

Development of nanostructured devices for sensing, energy storage, actuating, and energy harvesting has attracted many researchers. The most common type of functional nanostructures is piezoelectric nanomaterials. Regardless of numerous studies in this area, there is a need for rapid fabrication of nanostructured devices, or simply functional nanocomposites. Here we present a simple, scalable fabrication technique for additive manufacturing of nanocomposite energy harvesting devices composed of barium titanate nanowires. Details on hydrothermal synthesis of barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanowires and printable inks, manufacturing process, and energy harvesting performance of the printed devices are presented here. The experimental results suggest that additive manufacturing of functional nanocomposites allows controlling the microstructures and enhancing device performance.

This paper presents the design and the realization of an innovative SMA actuated bistable vacuum suction cup. The sealed, compact and fully integrated design enables the positioning and transport of inherent stable components in mobile and stationary applications. The bistable actuator mechanism based on SMA wires combined with a bistable spring represent an energy-efficient, noiseless gripping system without the need for compressed air. Additionally, the self-sensing effect of the SMA enables a sensorless condition-monitoring and energy-efficient control. The mechanics consists of antagonistic SMA wires, which are laterally arranged and connected to the bistable spring via levers. The membrane is directly connected to the bistable spring. The actuation of the wires leads to a rotational movement of the levers thus changes the state of the bistable spring, which directly deforms the membrane. When the membrane is sealed connected to the workpiece, the deformation of the membrane generates a vacuum. The integrated microcontroller electronics manages the joule heating of the wires by measuring the transmitted electrical energy. By applying an electrical energy to the pre-strained SMA wire, the wire heats up and contracts due to the phase transformation from martensite to austenite. The contraction of the wire is accompanied by a significant change in electrical resistance, which enables a resistance based strain feedback. The integrated electronics is able to correlate this resistance change to the actual state of the bistable spring, which leads to a position feedback of the membrane. This allows an adequate electrical energy deposition in the SMA wire by turning-off the heating directly after the position toggle of the membrane. Thereby, a successful position toggle is ensured independent from the ambient temperature and the real supply voltage. The new position of the membrane is then held by the bistable spring without the use of additional energy. This concept leads to a reliable gripping system with fast actuation times.

Continuous composite extrusion offers the possibility for manufacturing shape memory alloy metal matrix composites (SMA-MMC) with an actuator function. Due to an eccentric position of the SMA wires as well as the transformation stress caused by the suppressed shape memory effect, a bending moment can be generated during thermal activation. In this paper it is examined how the amount of necessary prestrain as well as the activation temperature influences the generated curvature of the specimens. The investigated actuator concept requires a sufficient bonding between matrix material and SMA wire to transfer the occurring stresses. For this reason, it is furthermore investigated how the process steps of stretching and subsequent thermal activation affect the quality of the bonding zone. Conventional NiTi wires (SM495) with a diameter of 1.5 mm are embedded in an aluminum AA6060 matrix for experimental investigation.

The reduction of low-frequency noise transmission through thin-walled structures is a topic of research for many years now. Due to large wavelengths and the mass law, passive solutions usually gain low performance in the frequency range below 500 Hz. Active systems promised to fill the gap and to achieve significant reductions of transmitted sound. Nevertheless, experiments showed the outstanding performance of such specialized systems, but also demonstrated the computational and hardware effort of such solutions. The upcoming additive manufacturing technology enabled new multi-material designs of complex structures. Based on this technology, acoustic metamaterials emerged in the laboratories and in literature. Arrays of miniaturized locally resonant structures are able to change the noise transmission of thin walled structures beyond the limits of the given mass law in certain frequency bands. For future aircraft contra-rotating open rotor (CROR) engines are a promising technology to reduce their CO2 footprint. Since the contribution of CROR engines to the cabin noise is higher than for jet engines, new strategies for the reduction of noise transmissions for frequency bands below 200 Hz are necessary. For the tonal noise of the CROR engines, acoustic metamaterials seem to be an appropriate solution. In this paper a 110 × 110 × 1 mm3 thin-walled sample plate is presented. It is covered with a 5 × 5 array of multi-material resonant structures, which are printed as mass on a beam. The rubber-like beam material combines a low Young’s modulus with a high material damping, leading to a low eigenfrequency of the resonators. The design of the resonators using simulations and experimental data is shown. To explore the potential of the design, an acoustic test box is manufactured. Starting with all resonators unblocked the emitted sound intensity of the plate is measured. Sequential blocking of selected resonators proves the concept. Additional laser scanning vibrometer measurements give insights into the vibration behavior of single resonators.

In the present article, we focus on the forced vibration and control analysis of functionally graded (FG) graphene-polymer composites bonded with piezoelectric layers considering strong electric fields. Different non-uniform gradient distributions of graphene platelets (GPLs) are assumed through the thickness direction. The Modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model is used to obtain the effective material properties of GPL/polymer composites. Electromechanical coupling of piezoelectric layers is described by two rotationally invariant non-linear constitutive relations. A four-node shell element considering transverse shear effect based on the Reissner-Mindlins hypothesis has been developed for forced vibration and control analysis of smart FG-GPL/composites using the principle of virtual work considering nonlinear material law for the piezoelectric layers. The developed element is verified and compared with the numerical results those available in the literature. Different configurations of FG-GPL composite shells have been analysed and discussed to compare in terms of settling time, first resonance frequency and absolute amplitude corresponding to first resonant frequency by carrying out time and frequency response analysis, and the effects of weight fraction of GPLs on vibration response of such shell structures are also discussed. The influence of electromechanical nonlinear constitutive relations is also presented and discussed by performing active control analysis on different FG-GPL composite shell structures. Moreover, the results show that the GPL distribution and weight-fraction of GPLs have a significant effect on the vibration and damping characteristics of the FG-GPL composite shell structures.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are often used for robotic, biomedical, and aerospace applications because of their unique ability to undergo large amounts of stress and strain during thermomechanical loading compared to traditional metals. While SMAs such as NiTi have been used in wire, plate, and tubular forms, NiTi as a woven dry fabric has yet to be analyzed for use as protective materials and actuators. Applications of SMA fabric as a “passive” material include shields, seatbelts, watchbands and window screens. Applications as an “active” material include robotic actuators, wearable medical and therapy devices, and self-healing shields and screens. This paper applies a macro-mechanical model from composites analysis to NiTi plain woven fabric to determine the effective elastic constants. The fabric model is based on actual weave geometry, including the presence of open gaps and wire cross-sectional area, and with the same diameter and alloy in the warp and weft. A woven NiTi ribbon has been manufactured (Figure 1) using a narrow weaving machine and has been tested in uniaxial tension. Planar fabric constants were measured at a range of temperatures. The analytically and experimentally derived constants for various weave patterns and cover factor combinations are presented and compared. It was determined that in uniaxial tension the fabric behaves like a collection of unidirectional wires, but has 78% of the rigidity, on average, across all test temperatures. This result is predicted by the fabric model with a 16% error, demonstrating that the proposed analytical model offers a useful tool for design and simulation of SMA fabrics.

In the new data intensive world, predictive maintenance has become a central issue for the modern industrial plants. Monitoring of electric machinery is one of the most important challenges in predictive maintenance. Adaptive manufacturing processes/plants may be possible through the monitored conditions. In this respect, several attempts have been made to utilize deep learning algorithms for rotating machinery fault detection and diagnosis. Among them, deep autoencoders are very popular, because of their denoising effect. They are also implemented in electric machinery fault diagnostics in order to obtain lower order representation of signals. However, none of these efforts regard the autoencoders as compression units. Bearing in mind that spectra of vibration and current signals that are collected from electric machinery are critical instruments for detection and diagnosis of their faults, we propose that deep stacked autoencoder can be utilized as spectrum compression units. The performance of the proposed strategy are assessed using a bearing data set in three ways: (1)Rule-based classifiers are implemented on raw and compressed-decompressed spectrum and their performance are compared. (2) It is shown that the several machine learning classifiers such as support vector machines, artificial neural networks and k-nearest neighbour classifiers on compressed-decompressed spectrum achieves the performance of them on raw data. (3) A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier is implemented on the low dimensional representation and it is demonstrated that the strategy of employing the same autoencoder as pretraining of feature extraction module cannot outperform the performance of this MLP classifier.

The demand for clean and sustainable energy sources continuously increases. One of the promising ways to provide electrical power is using fuel cells. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) represents the most common type of fuel cells. However, PEMFCs have not yet been fully commercialized because of the high cost and low performance. A main part of PEMFC, which significantly contributes to the cost and weight is the bipolar plate (BPP). The US Department of Energy (DOE) has recommended some physical properties for BPP for sustainable commercialization of PEMFC. Those set properties have yet to be met. Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) use conductive fillers such as carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon fiber (CF), and graphite (Gr) to impart electrical and thermal conductivities and can potentially provide an optimum combination of weight, cost, mechanical properties and conductivity characteristics for BPPs. In the current work, CPCs of polycarbonate (PC) filled with singular filler of CNT, binary fillers of CNT and CF and ternary fillers of CNT, CF and Gr were fabricated using melt mixing method followed by compression molding. The through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities of the CPCs were investigated. The results showed that the electrical percolation thresholds for the PC-CNT is ∼1 wt. % CNT in both the through-plane and in-plane directions. Addition of 3 wt. % CNT to PC composites with 10 - 30 wt. % CF improved the conductivity performance. It was noticed increasing CF content from 20 to 30 wt. % did not yield a big change in conductivity, so that at 20 wt. % CF, the through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities are 0.11 S.cm−1 and 6.4 S.cm−1 respectively. Moreover, using 20 wt. % CF will allow for higher loading of graphite. To further enhance the conductivities towards the DOE recommendations, 30 wt. % Gr was introduced to the PC composite with binary filler (i.e., 3 wt. % CNT and 20 wt. % CF). The results showed that the through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities were increased to 1.5 S.cm−1 and 13.5 S.cm−1, respectively. These properties recommend a potential application of polycarbonate based CPCs for BPP manufacturing.

One of the promising ways to provide electrical power is using fuel cells. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) represents the most common type of fuel cells. However, PEMFCs have not yet been fully commercialized because of the high cost and low performance. A main part of PEMFC, which significantly contributes to the cost and weight is the bipolar plate (BPP). The US Department of Energy (DOE) has recommended some physical properties for BPP for sustainable commercialization of PEMFC. Those set properties have yet to be met. Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) use conductive fillers such as carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon fiber (CF), and graphite (Gr) to impart electrical and thermal conductivities and can potentially provide an optimum combination of weight, cost, mechanical properties and conductivity characteristics for BPPs.\u0000 In the current work, CPCs of polycarbonate (PC) filled with singular filler of CNT, binary fillers of CNT and CF and ternary fillers of CNT, CF and Gr were fabricated using melt mixing method followed by compression molding. The through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities of the CPCs were investigated. The results showed that the electrical percolation thresholds for the PC-CNT is ∼1 wt. % CNT in both the through-plane and in-plane directions. Addition of 3 wt. % CNT to PC composites with 10 - 30 wt. % CF improved the conductivity performance. It was noticed increasing CF content from 20 to 30 wt. % did not yield a big change in conductivity, so that at 20 wt. % CF, the through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities are 0.11 S.cm−1 and 6.4 S.cm−1 respectively. Moreover, using 20 wt. % CF will allow for higher loading of graphite. To further enhance the conductivities towards the DOE recommendations, 30 wt. % Gr was introduced to the PC composite with binary filler (i.e., 3 wt. % CNT and 20 wt. % CF). The results showed that the through-plane and in-plane electrical conductivities were increased to 1.5 S.cm−1 and 13.5 S.cm−1, respectively. These properties recommend a potential application of polycarbonate based CPCs for BPP manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":392289,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Development and Characterization of Multifunctional Materials; Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Adaptive Systems; Integrated System Design and Implementation","volume":"788 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116133830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
