Abstract: A system for determining a trigger amplitude indicating a precursor to a material fracture in a specimen under test includes a microphone converting acoustic emission emitted by the specimen under test into electrical signals. A load is exerted upon the specimen under test and the acoustic emission are emitted when the load causes the specimen under test to undergo deformation prior to the material fracture. A control module is in electrical communication with the microphone and executes instructions to monitor the electrical signals generated by the microphone and filter the electrical signals generated by the microphone. The control module converts the electrical signals generated by the microphone into individual frequency components based on a fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The individual frequency components each include a peak intensity. The control module determines the trigger amplitude based on the peak intensity of the individual frequency components of the FFT.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include variable transmittance laminates having an embedded thermally conductive multi-layer for auto-shading applications. An exemplary vehicle includes a lighting system having a light source and a housing for the light source. A variable transmittance laminate is positioned such that light emitted from the housing passes through the variable transmittance laminate. The variable transmittance laminate includes a thermally conductive multi-layer and an auto-shading film on the thermally conductive multi-layer. The auto-shading film includes discrete substructures which vary in alignment in response to an electric field. A wire is embedded in the auto-shading film and a controller is electrically coupled to the wire. The controller switchably causes the wire to deliver the electric field to the discrete substructures. The variable transmittance laminate has a first transmittance when a switch is in a first state and a second transmittance when the switch in in a second state.

Abstract: Laminated vehicle glass structures included printed piezoelectric actuators for sound generation. Ring-shaped piezoelectric actuators are printed on an inner surface of a selected one of the exterior glass panel or interior glass panel. The printed piezoelectric actuators are offset relative to a centerline longitudinally extending between the opposing glass panels. Also disclosed are processes for forming the laminated glass structures including at least one printed piezoelectric actuator. The laminated glass structures can be utilized about the vehicle anywhere sound generation is desired, e.g., passenger windows, sunroofs, front windshield, rear windshield, and the like. The printed ring-shaped piezoelectric actuators act as a diaphragm to produce sound upon excitation.

Abstract: Laminated vehicle glass structures included embedded piezoelectric exciters for sound generation. The piezoelectric exciters are embedded at least partially within the laminating materials and are offset relative to a centerline longitudinally extending between the opposing glass panels. Also disclosed are processes for forming the laminated glass structures. The laminated glass structures can be utilized about the vehicle anywhere sound generation is desired, e.g., passenger windows, fixed or sliding roofing systems, front windshield, rear windshield, side windows, rear quarter glasses, and the like. The piezoelectric exciters act as a diaphragm to produce sound upon vibration.
