The two most commonly used membrane profiles for sound reproduction of the high frequency audio band are the dome shape and the annular shape. The annular (also known as ring) shape has some different basic design features if compared to a dome with the same outer size. For example, ... En savoir plus

The transducer's construction used for current measurement in medium voltage power lines for current values kA is shown. The transducer involves magnetic circuit with a gap in which a MEMS structure with a movable cantilever is placed. The beam is made of silicon with a NiFe layer. The ... En savoir plus

The objective of the research is to design a broadband energy harvester device through the two-piece non-linear trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of two piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic composition samples are simulated in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, and ... En savoir plus

FT wind sensors measure wind speed and direction using an acoustic field superimposed on a flow field in an acoustic resonator equipped with three piezoelectric transducers. The study proposed here focuses on the acoustic resonance technology of a simplified wind sensor geometry, and how ... En savoir plus

Nondestructive inspection (NDI) of damages (e.g., imperfect or degraded bonding lines) or the remaining strength of adhesively bonded lap joints is critical for the operational safety of aircrafts and vehicles. It remains a challenge to use the conventional NDI to quantitatively infer ... En savoir plus

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) is extensively used in fields like medicine, oil and gas, and aerospace to inspect materials without causing damage. However, developing experimental setups and prototypes can be costly and time-consuming. This study employs advanced computational ... En savoir plus

In order to transmit energy in one direction, sonar flextensional transducers are combined into arrays of elements that are spaced a 1/4 wavelength apart. The directionality (front-to-back pressure ratio) is a modest of 6 dB. A single projector that is 1/3 wavelength in size and capable ... En savoir plus

Acoustic Resonance (Acu-Res®) Technology [1] is at the core of FT wind sensors, operating by measuring phase shifts between a pair of transducers caused by fluid flow within an acoustic resonator. Three piezoelectric transducers are placed in a triangular formation on the top reflector ... En savoir plus

Transducer optimization is a key aspect for successful development and deployment of advanced sensors, especially when designing 3D structures for harsh environments. For piezoelectric transducers, plate thickness determines the operating frequency of the resonator, which is frequently ... En savoir plus
