The investigation of textured piezoelectric ceramics for maritime applications

该项目的目标是探索一种高性能和新型的压电陶瓷材料在海洋环境中的适用性。具体目标是：1.在环境条件下对新型压电材料进行表征。与Ula的工程师合作，确定在典型海上作业条件下描述候选材料(S)的方法3。表征传统的压电材料解决方案，使之能够直接与新型压电陶瓷4进行比较。使用新型压电陶瓷设计声纳原型，在英国或加拿大的Ultra设施向TRL-5进行演示。范围与另一个引信项目合作，以制作集成电子设备的声纳解决方案的原型

The project goal is to explore the suitability of a high performance and novel class of piezoceramic material for use in the maritime environment. The specific objectives are:1. Characterisation of novel piezoelectric materials under ambient conditions2. Collaborate with Engineers from Ultra to identify methodology to characterise candidate material(s) under representative operational maritime conditions3. Characterise conventional piezoelectric material solutions, enabling direct comparison with novel piezoceramics4. Engineer a sonar prototype using the novel class of piezoceramics, demonstrating to TRL-5 at a Ultra facility in either the UK or Canada5. Scope to team with another FUSE project to prototype a sonar solution with integrated electronics
