Advanced Hybrid Mechatronic Materials for Ultra Precise and High Performance Machining Systems Design
The machinery field is traditionally a sector poor in term of structural material solutions, but where machine performances are increasing so sharply that new materials are urgently required. Getting more intelligent and integrated structural solutions is essential to really introduce enormous benefits in machine tool design and development. The future technological challenge will be the availability of a new class of smart composite materials whose elasto-dynamic response can be adapted in real time in order to significantly enhance the performance of structural and mechanical systems like machine tools under a wide range of operating conditions. The project "Advanced Hybrid Mechatronic Materials for ultra precise and high performance machining systems design" (HYMM) is trying to answer these issues.

Dear authors,
Thank you for your contribution to this session. It seems that there is a little problem with the sound at the start of your presentation. My question is the following: could you tell us a bit more about the smart platforms designed to reduce the vibrations in the high frequency domain?

Even though the project is completed, tests are still going on. Their evaluation is not yet finished.
The platform included piezo actuators for the generation of counterphase vibration. A special control logic was developed for this goal. Tests performed showed that the expected vibration is generated by the platform, but it was not possible to complete the job in the frame of the project.
Now the project is completed. Were the results achieved at the end of the project better than those already reported in this paper?
