A process chain for integrating piezoelectric transducers into aluminum die castings to generate smart lightweight structures

The application of piezoelectric transducers to structural body parts of machines or vehicles enables the combination of passive mechanical components with sensor and actuator functions in one single structure. According to Herold et al. [1] and Staeves [2] this approach indicates significant potent...
