在过去的二十年里，智能材料和结构技术在许多工程领域经历了从理论概念到物理实现的演变。这些包括智能传感器和执行器、主动减震和振动控制、仿生学和结构健康监测。最近，3D打印和打印电子等附加制造技术作为制造3D对象或电子元件以用于原型或分布式制造目的的方法而受到关注。在这篇论文中，将研究制造全印刷智能结构的可行性，其中嵌入了传感器和执行器。为此，首先将回顾当前的3D打印和打印电子技术。然后，将讨论将这两种不同的添加剂制造技术结合起来创建全印刷智能结构的可能性。这种类型的全印刷智能结构的潜在应用包括大多数传统的智能结构，其中传感器和致动器被嵌入或粘合到结构上以测量结构响应并在结构中引起所需的静态和动态变化。
The last two decades have seen evolution of smart materials and structures technologies from theoretical concepts to physical realization in many engineering fields. These include smart sensors and actuators, active damping and vibration control, biomimetics, and structural health monitoring. Recently, additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing and printed electronics have received attention as methods to produce 3D objects or electronic components for prototyping or distributed manufacturing purposes. In this paper, the viability of manufacturing all-printed smart structures, with embedded sensors and actuators, will be investigated. To this end, the current 3D printing and printed electronics technologies will be reviewed first. Then, the plausibility of combining these two different additive manufacturing technologies to create all-printed smart structures will be discussed. Potential applications for this type of all-printed smart structures include most of the traditional smart structures where sensors and actuators are embedded or bonded to the structures to measure structural response and cause desired static and dynamic changes in the structure.
