Smart
Materials. Active or smart materials,
including piezoelectric and shape memory alloys, offer efficient,
solid-state actuation and sensing technology.
Integrated Multifunctional Systems. Actuating and sensing
functions can be integrated with primary structure and other functional
elements to form integrated systems.
High-Efficiency Electromagnetics. Advanced electromagnetic
actuators enable high power density solutions for a variety of applications.
MEMS Devices. MEMS packaging provides sensors that can be
more easily integrated in structural systems.
Energy Harvesting. For remote powering of sensors and other
systems, several technologies can be applied to convert power from
mechanical sources.
