INVESTIGATION IN DEVELOPMENT OF EMBROIDERED STRAIN MEASUREMENT SENSORS
Abstract
The integration of electronic units, sensors and actuators into complex function-oriented systems is one key point in development of intelligent lightweight composites and lightweight structures. A wide range of materials are available for that purpose and can be used to create active structures with selective properties. Often, these complex systems are manually integrated into smart structures with prefabricated and individually designed layer materials. But, automated production is difficult.<BR />Therefore, main aim of Department of Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology (SLK) in cooperation with Competence Centre for Lightweight Structures (SLB) and the Lightweight Structures Engineering GmbH (LSE) is developing application-oriented technical solutions for series production. One result of this network is a technology for the fabrication of embroidered strain measurement sensors. These sensors are capable for a direct integration whilst the manufacturing of active lightweight structures and composites, for example fiber reinforced plastics.
