Presenting the Research Program
This subproject purposes an integration of piezoceramic sensor-actuator modules into metal components within a pressure casting process.
Here, the significant challenge is controlling the thermomechanical stressing of the modules in the course of mold filling and cooling. This project sees the solution for a damageless integration in jacketing the modules that need to be molded with a wire-fabric structure which can easily be penetrated by the melt. Thereby, the homogeneous supporting effect of the fabric structure is to minimize the local force acting upon the module. By means of FE simulators process strategies are to be developed that optimize the pressure resulting from the cooling in terms of failing and functionality.
