Abstract:
The research goals of this ONR sponsored University Research Initiative entitled Materials for Adaptive Structural Acoustics Control relate directly to the sensing and actuating material which must be integrated to function in adaptive control of acoustic structures. This report documents work in the second year of the program and for convenience the activities are grouped under the headings General Summary Papers, Materials Studies, Composite Sensors, Actuator Studies, Integration Issues, Processing Studies, and Thin Film Ferroelectrics. The general papers cover a new comprehensive description of ferroelectric ceramics and their applications, analysis of high temperature piezoelectric sensors and the possible application of nonlinearity in enhancing the smartness of ceramics and composites. Scale effects on ferroics are of increasing interest and the manner in which nano-scale polar regions control the properties of relaxor ferroelectrics is again emphasized.
