Amplitude and phase of the vibration of the membrane of an electrostatic Sell-transducer are scanned point-for point with a capacitive probe. From the results a number of mean or extreme values characterizing the behaviour of the membrane are derived. These values two compared with respect to their dependence on air pressure, membrane material , surface properties of the back plate, and excitation voltage; optimal values for various applications are found.
By generating short stress pulses with thick transducers, the pulse-echo method for determining sound velocities and acoustic attenuation can be applied to thin specimens. The stress pulses enter a specimen where one pulse is reflected several times before a succeeding pulse enters the specimen.
Single-component scratch-gage transducer incorporates a unique motion magnification scheme to increase the magnitude of the load measuring scratch approximately 15 times over that of conventional models. It is small, load carrying and high in natural frequency.
Pressure-sensitive transducer, consisting of a series of spindle-supported electrically conductive metal washers connected to electrical sensing circuitry, determines the force exerted between a mounting bolt and nut on relatively fragile components.
