ISPA 2015 – International Symposium on Piezocomposite Applications

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the International Symposium on Piezocomposite Applications – ISPA 2015 to be held in the scientific, economic and cultural center of Dresden (Germany) from September 17 to 18, 2015.

The symposium will address scientific and technological developments related to piezoelectric ceramics and their integration with electronics and into various matrix materials to enable new multifunctional devices, including sensors, actuators, ultrasound transducers, and energy harvesting devices.

The creation of new components and structures with these intelligent material properties radically extends the spectrum of applications. Examples are smart lightweight structures of controlled shape, reduced vibration or suppressed noise, shape and position control of mechanical and optical structures, wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring, decentralized power supply by energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations or on site voltage transformation and ultra-sonic transducer with improved efficiency and larger bandwidth. Progress in the field arises from cross-discipline material technologies, innovative production technologies, design skills and market requirements.

The Symposium ISPA 2015 is intended to serve as a platform enabling an exchange of information on market requirements, research interests and current results, skills and resources and facilitating the building of future partnerships.
Engineers, designers and managers are invited to lecture on their state-of-the-art developments and future prospects or display their products as exhibitor.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
