탄소나노튜브 및 탄소나노섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 비파괴 손상감지능 및 응력전달 메카니즘이 전기-미세기계적 실험법을 통하여 조사되었다. 전기-미세기계적 실험법은 균일한 반복하중 하에서 전기저항을 측정함으로써 탄소나노복합재료의 감지반응을 평가하는 것이다. 큰 탄소섬유 부피 분율이 있는 복합재료가 에폭시 자체나 작은 부피 분율에 비하여 매우 큰 인장강도 특성을 보여주었다. 탄소나노섬유 복합재료는 제한된 온도범위 내에서 습도 감지능을 보여주었다. 형상비가 작은 탄소나노섬유 복합재료는 많이 첨가된 부피량에 기인하여 보다 큰 겉보기 탄성계수를 보여 주었다. 열처리된 전기 방사된 PVDF 나노섬유는 증대된 결정화에 기인하여 미처리의 경우보다 큰 기계적 특성을 보여 주었으며, 그 반면에 응력 감지능은 열처리의 경우에 감소를 보여 주었다. 전기 방사된 나노섬유는 또한 응력전달 뿐만 아니라 습도 및 온도에 대한 감지능도 나타내었다. 탄소나노튜브. 탄소나노섬유 및 전기 방사된 PVDF 나노섬유는 나노복합재료의 다기능에 응용할 수 있을 것이다.

The possibility of adopting vibration-powered wireless nodes has been largely investigated in the last years. Among the available technologies based on the piezoelectric effect, the most common ones consist of a vibrating beam covered by electroactive layers. Another energy harvesting strategy is based on the use of piezoelectric strips attached to a hosting structure subjected to dynamic loads. The hosting structure, for example, can be the system to be equipped with wireless nodes. Such strategy has received few attentions so far and no analytical studies have been presented yet. Hence, the original contribution of the present paper is concerned with the development of analytical solutions for the electrodynamic analysis and design of piezoelectric polymeric strips attached to relatively large linear elastic structural systems subjected to random vibrations at the base. Specifically, it is assumed that the dynamics of the hosting structure is dominated by the fundamental vibration mode only, and thus it is reduced to a linear elastic single-degree-of-freedom system. On the other hand, the random excitation at the base of the hosting structure is simulated by filtering a white Gaussian noise through a linear second-order filter. The electromechanical force exerted by the polymeric strip is negligible compared with other forces generated by the large hosting structure to which it is attached. By assuming a simplified electrical interface, useful new exact analytical expressions are derived to assess the generated electric power and the integrity of the harvester as well as to facilitate its optimum design.
