Companies across Europe are developing the next generation of sensors for medical applications, from Covid-19 testing to ...

Piezoelectric shunt damping is a well known structural vibration control technique that consists in connecting an electrical circuit to a piezoelectric transducer attached to the structure. In the ...

A simple and low-cost multiple beam phased array is designed using a microstrip Rotman lens and multi-line phase shifter controlled by a piezoelectric transducer (PET) at Ka-band. A microstrip Rotman ...

This review presents the important applications of piezoelectric materials in civil engineering in recent years. Studies on the development of smart construction structures have been carried out by ...

The transducer’s small footprint and ability to sweep the beam without moving the probe aids the inspection of components to which access is limited.

A new independently controllable dual-feed dual-beam phased array has been developed at 30 GHz. Sixty-four planar microstrip patch antennas are used to form a two-dimensional 8/spl times/8 array. Two ...

Finally, an underwater acoustic transducer was assembled by using the PZT piezoelectric composites fabricated by the above method. The electrical signal generated by the underwater acoustic transducer ...

In fabricating a MEMS-based energy harvester, the piezoelectric transducer is designed to maximize the generation of electrical energy. In the example shown in figure 1, a floating mass is connected ...
