内容摘要

Smart structure systems embedded with sensor/actuator can be tailored to desired mechanical properties, while systems with embedded energy harvester and low-profile microstrip antenna are desirable to minimize aerodynamics disturbances in flight vehicles.  A smart layer module by utilizing the flexible printed circuit process is developed to facilitate embedding sensor/actuator. Vibration suppression experiments validate that the smart layer module is effective to higher structural strength and stiffness.  A 3000 × 3000× 500 μm vibration energy harvester is also developed to drive the sensor/actuator. This is the smallest vibration harvester resonating at 105 Hz, implementable by standard CMOS process and compatible to System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Design verifications show that the harvester can generate an average output power of about 0.1 μW, or equivalent output density 0.02 μW/mm³, by the excitation input of 10 μm amplitude at 105 Hz. In addition, a thermoelectric harvester is developed to utilize the thermal gradient for power delivery.  The design with a thermal isolation cavity to prevent heat loss and maintain temperature gradient is validated by TSMC 0.35μm 2P4M (2-poly and 4-metal) CMOS process to achieve the power factor of about 0.042 µW/cm²K² and voltage factor 2.42 V/cm²K.   With these harvesters, a rectangular microstrip antenna is also embedded in composite laminated substrates to show that both the mechanical and electromagnetic properties are superior to those of an isotropic substrate.  The concept of an indigenous smart structure system with sensing, actuation, control, communication and power supply capabilities is feasible.
