Abstract

This project has as objective the determination and increasing of the voltage that leaves the PZT through the modeling of intelligent structures. For this, routines that describe the behavior of the electric potential generated by the PZT-sensor when the structure is excited will be used. The modeling and the numerical simulations of these structures will be carried through in the SmartSys programs. The results of this program, that is in development for the group of research, will be compared with the answers gotten for program ANSYS®. Also the acquisition and processing of these signals will be analyzed, making possible the experimental validation of the implemented routines.
