Abstract:

The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop a Road Response Simulator (acronym: HD RoReSi), designed as a Reconfigurable Haptic Interface that includes Real-Time Dynamic Contact Simulation in its Control System. This product enables the validation of a new concept regarding the dynamic contact in real-time reproduction, developed so to overcome the current limitations in the field (i.e. road simulation, tire-road contact, vehicle suspension modeling and incorporation of haptics into virtual environments (VEs), respectively). In this way, the targeted topic contributes toward larger technological and commercial goals. This ambitious scope will be attained through the collaboration between multidisciplinary fields that have traditionally been considered separately, i.e. impact/contact reproduction and detection, new modular reconfigurable dynamical structures; haptics in multimodal VEs, and control devices. The research will be validated through an end product - a real reconfigurable experimental prototype. The new product will improve performances for vehicles (comfort, dynamic skills), increase in driving awareness and safety, decrease in traffic accidents, and reduce the maintenance cost, respectively. The quality, cost and flexibility in use of the new product make differences relative to existing offerings from major global competitors. The project will advance a challenge for the future in the area of haptics and road response simulators, by processing new scientific knowledge into the field of the computer haptics (analogous to computer graphics) and the human-machine intelligent interaction, without expensive VEs and computational power. The consortium possesses the necessary and complementary key qualifications to meet project objectives and results and also to overcome the project risks.

Abstract:

A sonic composite (SC) is a 3D finite size array composed of scatterers embedded into the matrix. The design and understand new architectures of a material as a scatterer and mechanical support based on nanomaterials have many applications such as acoustic filters, sonic panels, sound shields, transducers, acoustic wave guides for stopping of noise in closed spaces (for acoustic comfort control in engineering and applied aeronautics). The task is to shield against the noise in a desired frequency band, by completely reflection of the sound in the frequency range where all the bands for different directions overlap. The main goal of this project is to architecture new SCs with scatterers incorporated into unsaturated polyester resin matrix or polymers. The scatterrers are made of carbon nanotubes or auxetic materials. The proof of the performance of these SCs to transmit the sound only through selective bands of frequencies is achieved by using the concept of dilatonic mechanism and the full band-gaps generation. An additional goal is to develop algorithms to mimic the real manufacturing and behaviour of SCs, based on theory, models, optimization, simulation and artificial intelligence. The theoretical and computational efforts combined to virtual experiments will be finally developed for acoustic filters and sonic panels wuth scatterers made of carbon nanotobes or auxetic materials. A patent from this work will be proposed, whilst many fundamental problems have to be solved.
