Abstract

Due to the run out of the fossil energy sources and environmental issues, new energy storage systems are developed in conjunction with renewable energy technologies. The machines that supplied energy from the batteries consume extra energy because they carry both the weight of the batteries and the structural weight. Recently, the idea of storing energy in structural elements has been studied. In this study, the multifunctionality of structural capacitors made by placed of varied dielectric layers between the carbon fiber plates has been investigated. The effects on the mechanical and electrical properties of different dielectric material combinations has been investigated by the simulation, experimentally and by the calculations based on Hook's law. Thus, the results of structural dielectric capacitors in these combinations have been compared and discussed.
