DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH SENSITIVE FATIGUE DAMAGE MONITORING SENSOR

Design of Novel High Sensitive MEMS Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor

In this paper a new design of MEMS capacitive fingerprint sensors is presented. The capacitive sensor is made of two parallel plates with air gap. In these sensors, the capacitance changes is very important factor. It is caused by deformation of the upper electrode of sensor. In this study with making slots in upper electrode, using T-shaped protrusion on diaphragm in order to concentrate the f...

Monitoring VIV fatigue damage on marine risers

Long flexible cylinders (e.g. risers, tendons, mooring lines) exposed to the marine environment encounter ocean currents leading to vortex-induced vibration (VIV). These oscillations, often driven at high frequencies over extended periods of time may result in structural failure of the member due to fatigue damage accumulation. Recent developments in instrumentation and installation of data acq...

Development of A New Electrochemical Sensor based on Zr-MOF/MIP for Sensitive Diclofenac Determination

In this study, a new molecularly imprinted polymer with nanoporous material of zirconium metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOF/MIP) for diclofenac (DFC) measurement is presented. The Zr-MOF/MIP was prepared by electropolymerization method, the Zr-MOFs were used to increase electrode surface and the DFC and para- aminobenzoic acid (pABA) were used as template and functional monomer, respectively. Zr-...

High Sensitive Methods for Health Monitoring of Compressor Blades and Fatigue Detection

The diagnostic and research aspects of compressor blade fatigue detection have been elaborated in the paper. The real maintenance and overhaul problems and characteristic of different modes of metal blade fatigue (LCF, HCF, and VHCF) have been presented. The polycrystalline defects and impurities influencing the fatigue, along with their related surface finish techniques, are taken into account...
