Abstract
A rigidity-controllable device and a damping-controllable shock-absorbing apparatus comprising the same are disclosed. The rigidity-controllable device of the present invention comprises: a composite comprising a polymer base and a nano-conductive material dispersed in the polymer base; and a power supply electrically connecting with the composite; wherein when the power supply electricity to the composite, temperature of the composite is increased and thus the rigidity of the composite is adjusted.
Claims15
A rigidity-controllable device, comprising:
- a composite comprising a polymer base, and a nano-conductive material dispersed in the polymer base;
- and
- a power supply electrically connecting with the composite, and supplying electricity to the composite,
- wherein when the power supply supplies the electricity to the composite, a temperature of the composite is increased and thus the rigidity of the composite is adjusted.
The damping-controllable shock-absorbing apparatus, which is applied to a bridge pier, a building, an artificial satellite, a photovoltaic device, a transporting device, an aircraft, or a portable electronic device.
