Abstract

The paper examines the development of piezoelectric multi-material-systems in view of smart light weight structures. It starts with an overview on piezoelectric transducer elements comprising monolithic units and composite elements. Next, approaches of integration into structural materials systems are considered, covering the aspects of design and adjustment to production technologies. Finally, future perspectives are highlighted.
