چکیده
In the middle 90s, the Face Companies created Face International Corporation to focus R&D efforts on high tech applications in the field of piezoelectric technologies. Since then, the company has developed a portfolio of over 50 US patents and several international Patents. The company is currently commercializing three breakthrough technologies including high deformation Thunder piezoelectric actuators, High Power Transoner piezoelectric transformers, a battery-less, wire-less remote control powered by its Lightning piezo generator. A review of these technologies is presented in this poster display.

In this paper the active vibration control of a four-story shear frame instrumented with piezoelectric actuators is presented. The piezoelectric actuators are hosted on the columns in two manners and the produced controlling forces by actuators are considered in the equation of motion. The smart structure modeling and control design is carried out using MATLAB software in state space form. Subs...
متن کاملTemperature Effects on Nonlinear Vibration of FGM Plates Coupled with Piezoelectric Actuators
An analytical solution for a sandwich circular FGM plate coupled with piezoelectric layers under one-dimension heat conduction is presented in this paper. A nonlinear static problem is solved first to determine the initial stress state and pre-vibration deformations. By adding an incremental dynamic state to the pre-vibration state, the differential equations are derived. The role of thermal en...
