Shunted Active Fiber Composites (AFCs)

In cooperation with EMPA in Dubendorf and IMES at ETH Zurich we are developing new Smart Damping Materials for the integration into fiber composite materials. These materials consist of Active Fiber Composites (AFCs) that are optimized in shape and structure. The AFCs are then shunted to electronic circuits with the aim to suppress vibration of the host structure.
