What's this?
Drawing together material that is usually scattered among various sources, this comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume covers the theory, design, fabrication and application of transducer elements and transducer structures — and features a wealth of practical formulas, calculations, schemes, various parameters organized in tables, “know how“ recipes, and other material helpful in transducer design.
- begins with the basics common to all transducers and their elements; then covers the theory, fabrication, and application of the most popular, traditional, and contemporary devices; and concludes with a comprehensive overview of transducer schemes and principles organized in tables.
- for those who deal with transducer design or applications, including practitioners and readers of electrical and mechanical engineering, industrial technology, physics, and chemistry.
- reviews traditional as well as modern devices — with an emphasis on the description of transducer schemes and principles of operation, and methods of calculation.
- introduces the most contemporary devices — e.g., resonant elements, silicon sensors, fiber-optic devices, etc.
- describes specific fabrication processes.
- presents a large number of engineering formulas along with various physical parameters organized in tables. The formulas are derived or clearly explained and are ready for calculations and analysis. A number of mathematical relationships — e.g., Bessel functions and tensor equations — are reduced to the form convenient for engineering calculations.
- features a widely used mathematical analysis that opens the door for computer simulation in transducer design.
- introduces necessary mathematical tools as they are needed.
