Electro-active polymer transduction for distributed netted sensing

Abstract: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, RI is developing an electro-active polymer-based sensing node for use in a persistent distributed underwater surveillance system. Persistence demands extreme energy conservation measures. The node will resemble a jellyfish in form, complete with tentacles housing a volumetric array of light-weight piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) copolymer cylindrical hydrophones designed for an ultra-low power acoustic receiver. Each cylinder has… Show more
