While hydrogen is of vital and growing importance in many industrial sectors, this volatile substance poses unique challenges, including easy leakage, low ignition energy, a wide range of combustible fuel- air mixtures, buoyancy, and its ability to embrittle metals that are required to ensure safe operation.
Despite the vast amount of work building the foundations of safe operations, aviation accidents still happen, and prior to many accidents and other safety-related events, there was unexpressed or ignored disquiet as the 'last minute' approached - the last minute being that time when there is no longer time for discussion or analysis, only 'safety first' action.
This book discusses the 3D printing of sensors, actuators, and antennas and illustrates how manufacturers can create smart materials that can be effectively used to prepare low-cost products.
