Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC) Actuator

The Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC) actuator is a low-cost piezoelectric device designed for controlling vibration, noise, and deflections in composite structural beams and panels. It is an encapsulated, high-performance, in-plane, piezoelectric fiber composite strain device that consists of rectangular piezoelectric fibers sandwiched between layers of adhesive and electrode polyimide film.
