“…Due to the textile structure, the layered construction, and the associated specific production processes, such materials enable the possibility for a matrix-homogeneous integration of functional elements such as sensors, actuators, or even electronic circuit boards [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The matrix-homogeneity is achieved by the utilization of identical thermoplastic materials both for the functional elements and the matrix of the composite component.…”

Abstract:The paper presents preliminary numerical and experimental studies of active textile-reinforced thermoplastic composites with embedded sensor-actuator arrays. The goal of the investigations was the assessment of directional sound wave generation capability using embedded sensor-actuator arrays and developed a wave excitation procedure for ultrasound measurement tasks. The feasibility of the proposed approach was initially confirmed in numerical investigations assuming idealized mechanical and geometrical conditions. The findings were validated in real-life conditions on specimens of elementary geometry. Herein, the technological aspects of unique automated assembly of thermoplastic films containing adapted thermoplastic-compatible piezoceramic modules and conducting paths were described.
