ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing demand to digitize production processes. In order to obtain the necessary data for these processes, numerous sensors must be installed on or in the machines. This can be difficult, especially when done retroactively, as the existing installation space must be able to accommodate the sensors.

Validation of Electrostrictive Performance of P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) for kHz Range Applications
This study demonstrates that the high‐frequency deformation of the relaxor ferroelectric polymer P(VDF–TrFE–CFE) is governed by Maxwell's electrostriction, confirming its suitability for fast electromechanical applications. Combining original high‐frequency mechanical characterization, laser vibrometry measurements, and numerical modeling, a ...
