The design and modelling of piezoelectric transducers have advanced considerably, merging innovative configurations with robust analytical techniques. Contemporary approaches utilise both equivalent ...

Piezoelectric materials, a type of “smart” material that generates electricity while deforming and vice versa, have been used extensively for many important implantable medical devices such as sensors ...

To increase the accessibility of piezoelectric transducers and actuators for OEM designers, manufacturers may package these devices inside a protective arrangement of flexures. This approach offers a ...

A theoretical analysis based on the Johnson noise equation and an established transducer model has revealed a simple mathematical expression for the minimum signal force detectable in air with an open ...

The increasing miniaturization and sophistication of electronic products, ranging from consumer media devices to medical diagnostic tools to defense-related sonar applications, presents a bounty of ...

Wearable ultrasound devices are actively used in various medical settings, including hospital diagnostics, rehabilitation ...

Increasing the level of remote monitoring and control of industrial environments—such as factories, plants and refineries—enables process engineers and managers to see the overall health of a system ...

Piezoelectric effect is when certain solid material is compressed under mechanical stress, and it develops a voltage potential by accumulating electrical charges. French physicists Jacques and Pierre ...
