However, since the measuring range of the displacement sensor is higher than its natural frequency, it is difficult to detect low frequency vibrations below 1 Hz using a conventional a seismic-type displacement sensor. In order to provide an absolute displacement detection which is capable of lowering the natural frequency and enlarging the detectable amplitude without causing structural defects, the relative signals of displacement, velocity, and acceleration between a detected object and the auxiliary mass of the sensor are fed back into the sensor. In addition, phase lag compensation is inserted to adjust phase angles, which are of a frequency of 1 Hz. According to simulation results, a detection range from 0.1 Hz to 50 Hz is expected. It has been demonstrated that the developed sensor with a small size and light weight has a detection range of from 0.5 Hz to 50 Hz for absolute displacement and velocity. As an additional advantage, the measurement displacement amplitude has been expanded to about 20 dB. This sensor is available to use for the active control method. of flexible structures like high rise buildings using the LQ control展开更多

Combined with theoretical analysis and experimental investigation, the sensitivity of the temperature sensor is related to the thicknesses of the upper cladding layer, the waveguide layer, the optical loss of the polymer material and the guided wave modes. The results show that the slope value about reflectivity and temperature, which stands for the sensitivity of the polymer thin film temperature sensor, is associated with the waveguide film thickness and the guided wave modes, and the slope value is the highest in the zero reflectance of a certain transverse electric （TE） mode. To improve the sensitivity of the temperature sensor, the sensor＇s working incident light exterior angle α should be chosen under a certain TE mode with the reflectivity to be zero. This temperature sensor is characterized by high sensitivity and simple structure and it is easily fabricated.展开更多

Using the real part of shear modulus, the polymer can be classified into three types： glassy film, glassy-rubbery film and rubbery film, Experimental results show that the attenuation response is in better consistence with the simulation than in Martin＇s theory, but the velocity response does not accord with the calculation exactly. Maybe it is influenced by the experimental methods and environment. In addition, simulations of gas sorption for polymer films are performed. As for glassy film, the SAW sensor response increases with increasing fihn thickness, and the relationship between the sensor response and the concentration of gas is pretty linear, while as for glassy-rubbery flint and rubbery film, the relationship between the sensor sensitivity anti concentration of gas is very complicated. The ultimately calculated results indicate that the relationship between the sensor response and frequency is not always linear due to the viscoelastic prooerties of the polymer.展开更多

The field distribution and reflectance spectra are numerically calculated by the transverse magnetic method under transfer-matrix polarization, while the sensitivity is analyzed and compared with those of the surface plasmon resonance sensing method. It is found that the intensity of magnetic field is considerably enhanced in the region of the terminated layer of the multilayer stacks, and that BSW resonance appears only in the interface of the graphene and solution. Influences of the graphene layers and the thickness of a unit cell in Ph Cs on the reflectance are studied as well. In particular, by analyzing the performance of BSW sensors with the graphene monolayer,the wavelength sensitivity of the proposed sensor is 1040 nm/RIU whereas the angular sensitivity is 25.1°/RIU. In addition,the maximum of figure of merit can reach as high as 3000 RIU^-1. Thus, by integrating graphene in a simple Kretschmann structure, one can obtain an enhancement of the light–graphene interaction, which is prospective for creating label-free,low-cost and high-sensitivity optical biosensors.展开更多

By introducing the nanofibers structure, a 9-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement and a 14-fold sensitivity enhancement were achieved, which could be attributed to its high area-to-volume ratio, excellent gas permeability, and more importantly, the evanescent-wave effect occurred once the diameters of the fibers were small enough. Since the organic semiconductors coated onto the nanofibrous mats could be replaced by other functional materials, the nanofibers-enhanced detection strategies could be extended to more general domains including chemical and environmental detection.展开更多

A double delay-line resonator was made by using ST-cut quartz crystal with working frequency of 149. 7 MHz. Then a layer of LB membrane was covered on it. When anti-IgM anti- body of various concentrations was added to it, the sensor can be used to detect IgM antigen. The biosensor was highly sensitive, small and light. The experimental results showed that the working frequency change of the sensor was proportional to the concentration of antibody with its dilution ratio between 1: 10000 and 1: 100. It was also first observed that the frequency curve of the sen- sor resulting from the reaction of IgM antigen and antibody undulated in the experiment.展开更多

The mass sensitivity of the basic Love wave device with SiO_(2)guiding layers is solved analytically. And the highest mass sensitivity of 128 m^(2)/kg is obtained as h_(s)/λ = 0.175. The sensitivity of the Love wave sensors for sensing volatile organic compounds(VOCs) is greatly improved due to the presence of coupled resonance induced by the PIB nanorods on the device surface. The frequency shifts of the sensor corresponding to CH_(2)Cl_(2),CHCl_(3), CCl_(4), C_(2)Cl_(4), CH_(3)Cl and C_(2)HCl_(3) with the concentration of 100 ppm are 1.431 kHz, 5.507 kHz, 13.437 kHz,85.948 kHz, 0.127 kHz and 17.879 kHz, respectively. The viscoelasticity influence of the sensitive material on the characteristics of SAW sensors is also studied. By taking account of the viscoelasticity of the PIB layers, the sensitivities of the SAW sensors with the PIB film and PIB nanorods decay in different degree. The gas sensing property of the Love wave sensor with PIB nanorods is superior to that of the PIB films. Meanwhile, the Love wave sensors with PIB sensitive layers show good selectivity to C_(2)Cl_(4), making it an ideal selection for gas sensing applications.展开更多

文摘ZnO films on R-sapphire substrates are prepared and characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, which indicate that the thin films are well crystallized with （1120） texture. Love wave and Rayleigh wave are used for fabrications of humidity sensors, which are excited in [1100] and [0001] directions of the （1120） ZnO piezoelectric films, respectively. The experimental results show that both kinds of sensors have good humidity response and repeatability, and the performances of the Love wave sensors are better than those of the Rayleigh wave sensors at room temperature. Moreover, the theoretical calculations of the mass sensitivity of the sensors are a/so carried out and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements.
文摘Structural health monitoring employs different tools and techniques to provide a prediction for damages that occur in various structures.Damages such as debond and cracks in concrete-filled steel tube column(CFST)are serious defects that threaten the integrity of the structural members.Ultrasonic waves monitoring applied to the CFST column is necessary to detect damages and quantify their size.However,without appropriate signal processing tools,the results of the monitoring process could not be crucial.In this research,a monitoring process based on a Multiphysics numerical simulation study was carried out.Two signal processing tools:short time Fourier transform(STFT)and Welch Power Spectral Density Estimate(PSD)were used to analyse the captured raw signals.The STFT spectrogram was effective in identifying the different size of damage based on a graphical interpretation.The results show that the increasing of frequency of the excited signal give a better results.The increase in peak magnitude values in Welch PSD was found to be proportionate to the change in damage length whereas the damage depth has a less effect.The results for the crack size identification were less promising than those of debond damage because of the different type of the signal’s propagation path.Simulation process conducted by COMSOL software has proved the validity of the adopted signal processing techniques in detecting such damages in CFST columns.
文摘A fluid sensor based on the surface transverse wave (STW) delay line on ST-cut quartz has been developed and tested in a large number of fluids with different viscosity and permittivity levels.Influence of fluid mechanical and electrical properties on the sensor's response has been determined and the sensor's performance has been compared with a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) viscosity sensor.The result shows that the viscosity sensitivity of the developed STW sensor represented by the signal to noise ratio is lower than that of a 5 MHz BAW sensor.Applications of the sensor in detecting the quality of industrial fluids are discussed.

文摘Summary: A new kind of biosensor for immunology was developed by ultrasonic technique and LB membrane. A double delay-line resonator was made by using ST-cut quartz crystal with working frequency of 149. 7 MHz. Then a layer of LB membrane was covered on it. When anti-IgM anti- body of various concentrations was added to it, the sensor can be used to detect IgM antigen. The biosensor was highly sensitive, small and light. The experimental results showed that the working frequency change of the sensor was proportional to the concentration of antibody with its dilution ratio between 1: 10000 and 1: 100. It was also first observed that the frequency curve of the sen- sor resulting from the reaction of IgM antigen and antibody undulated in the experiment.

文摘A quantitative identification method for in-flight icing has the capability to significantly enhance the safety of aircraft operations.Ultrasonic guided waves have the unique advantage of detecting icing in a relatively large area,but quantitative identification of ice layers is a challenge.In this paper,a quantitative identification method of ice accumulation based on ultrasonic guided waves is proposed.Firstly,a simulation model for the wave dynamics of piezoelectric coupling in three dimensions is established to analyze the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves in a structure consisting of an aluminum plate and an ice layer.The wavelet transform method is utilized to extract the Time of Flight(ToF)or Time of Delay(ToD)of S_(0)/B_(1) mode waves,which serves as a characteristic parameter to precisely determine and assess the level of ice accumulation.Then,an experimental system is developed to evaluate the feasibility of Lamb waves-based icing real-time detection in the presence of spray conditions.Finally,a combination of the Hampel median filter and the moving average filter is developed to analyze ToF/ToD signals.Numerical simulation results reveal a positive correlation between geometric dimensions(length,width,thickness)of the ice layer and ToF/ToD of B1 mode waves,indicating their potential as indicators for quantifying ice accumulation.Experimental results of real-time icing detection indicate that ToF/ToD will reach greater peak values with the growth of the arbitrary-shaped ice layer until saturation to effectively predict the simulation results.This study lays a foundation for the practical application of quantitative icing detection via ultrasonic guided waves.

文摘The three-dimensional(3D) finite element(FE) simulation and analysis of Love wave sensors based on polyisobutylene(PIB) layers/SiO_(2)/ST-90°X quartz structure are presented in this paper, as well as the investigation of coupled resonance effect on the acoustic properties of the devices. The mass sensitivity of the basic Love wave device with SiO_(2)guiding layers is solved analytically. And the highest mass sensitivity of 128 m^(2)/kg is obtained as h_(s)/λ = 0.175. The sensitivity of the Love wave sensors for sensing volatile organic compounds(VOCs) is greatly improved due to the presence of coupled resonance induced by the PIB nanorods on the device surface. The frequency shifts of the sensor corresponding to CH_(2)Cl_(2),CHCl_(3), CCl_(4), C_(2)Cl_(4), CH_(3)Cl and C_(2)HCl_(3) with the concentration of 100 ppm are 1.431 kHz, 5.507 kHz, 13.437 kHz,85.948 kHz, 0.127 kHz and 17.879 kHz, respectively. The viscoelasticity influence of the sensitive material on the characteristics of SAW sensors is also studied. By taking account of the viscoelasticity of the PIB layers, the sensitivities of the SAW sensors with the PIB film and PIB nanorods decay in different degree. The gas sensing property of the Love wave sensor with PIB nanorods is superior to that of the PIB films. Meanwhile, the Love wave sensors with PIB sensitive layers show good selectivity to C_(2)Cl_(4), making it an ideal selection for gas sensing applications.

文摘In this paper,we investigate IRS-aided user cooperation(UC)scheme in millimeter wave(mmWave)wirelesspowered sensor networks(WPSN),where two single-antenna users are wireless powered in the wireless energy transfer(WET)phase first and then cooperatively transmit information to a hybrid access point(AP)in the wireless information transmission(WIT)phase,following which the IRS is deployed to enhance the system performance of theWET andWIT.We maximized the weighted sum-rate problem by jointly optimizing the transmit time slots,power allocations,and the phase shifts of the IRS.Due to the non-convexity of the original problem,a semidefinite programming relaxation-based approach is proposed to convert the formulated problem to a convex optimization framework,which can obtain the optimal global solution.Simulation results demonstrate that the weighted sum throughput of the proposed UC scheme outperforms the non-UC scheme whether equipped with IRS or not.
文摘In the Acoustics channel,it is incredibly challenging to offer data transfer for time-sourced applications in an energy-efficient manner due to higher error rate and propagation delay.Subsequently,conventional re-transmission over any failure generally initiates significantly larger end-to-end delay,and therefore it is not probable for time-based services.Moreover,standard techniques without any re-transmission consume enormous energy.This investigation proposes a novel multi-hop energy-aware transmission-based intelligent water wave optimization strategy.It ensures reduced end-to-end while attaining potential amongst overall energy efficiency end-to-end packet delay.It merges a naturally inspired meta-heuristic approach with multi-hop routing for data packets to reach the destination.The appropriate design of this Meta heuristic-based energy-aware scheme consumes lesser energy than the conventional one-hop transmission strategy without re-transmission.However,there is no hop-by-hop re-transmission facilitated.The proposed model shows only lesser delay than conventional methods with re-transmission.This work facilitates extensive work to carry out the proposed model performance with the MATLAB simulation environment.The results illustrate that the model is exceptionally energyefficient with lesser packet delays.With 500 nodes,the packet delivery ratio of proposed model is 100%,average delay is reduced by 2%,total energy consumption is 8 J,average packet redundancy is 1.856,and idle energy is 6.9Mwh.The proposed model outperforms existing approaches like OSF,AOR,and DMR respectively.
