Embodiment Construction
[0023] figure 1 The shown membrane part 5 comprises, in the thickness direction along the Z axis, alternately superimposed layers of conductive elastomer 10 and a reinforcement layer 11 which is non-uniform in the XY plane of the layer. The reinforcement layer 11 is discontinuous and comprises individual fragments 13 spatially separated from each other and arranged periodically in the plane of the membrane. Fragments 13 may for example consist of a grid of discontinuous wires forming fabrics comprising hard wires 12 having a very high Young's modulus greater than 100 GPa and having a very short The elastic region, for example, has an elongation of the order of 0.2% (the percent elongation of an elastic material corresponds to the ratio of its ability to extend to its length). The wire 12 is preferably composed of a material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion below 10 ppm / °C, such as carbon fibers, or fibers composed of an iron-nickel alloy such as Invar (registered...
