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 ...

Magnetic effects in piezoelectric beam dynamics represent a nuanced interaction where magnetic fields, generated either internally by the beam’s own current or externally via applied fields, influence ...

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 ...

An inexpensive acoustic wave transducer developed by NIST mechanical engineers soon may make it easier for researchers to decide if new composite materials or film coatings have the right mechanical ...
