Integrated and Flexible High Temperature Ultrasonic Transducers
Thick (> 40μm) ceramic films as piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers (UTs) have been successfully deposited on metallic and graphite/epoxy composite substrates by a spray technique. The characteristics of these UTs are that they (1) can be integrated directly onto the desired planar or curved substrates; (2) may not need couplant; (3) can operate in the transmission and pulse/echo modes with a ...
متن کاملHigh Temperature Integrated and Flexible Ultrasonic Transducers for NDT
Integrated (IUTs) and flexible ultrasonic transducers (FUTs) are presented for NDT at high temperatures. These transducers are made of sol-gel sprayed piezoelectric thick (> 40μm) ceramic films. The ceramic materials are lead-zirconate-titanate, bismuth titanate and lithium niobate which are for thickness measurement up to 150°C, 400°C and 800°C, respectively. The IUT can be also deposited onto...
متن کاملHigh temperature ultrasonic transducers: review
The problems of development of high-temperature ultrasonic transducers for modern science and technology applications are analysed. More than 10 piezoelectric materials suitable for operation at high temperatures are overviewed. It is shown that bismuth titanate based piezoelectric elements are most promisable. Bonding methods of piezoelectric elements to a protector and backing are discussed. ...
متن کاملHigh Temperature Flexible Ultrasonic Transducers for Structural Health Monitoring and Ndt
Flexible ultrasonic transducers (FUTs) consisting of a 75 μm thick metal membrane, a piezoelectric composite with a thickness larger than 85 μm and a top electrode were developed for structural health monitoring (SHM) and non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. The piezoelectric films were made by a sol-gel spray technique. Its ultrasonic performance in terms of signal strength is at least ...
متن کاملUltrasonic Thermometer for High Temperature Materials Testing
This past year there were a total of 14 faculty members involved in 40 sponsored research projects. Sponsors included government agencies, navy labs and industry. In addition to the sponsored faculty research there were 15 midshipmen involved in independent research projects with faculty, four of which were Bowman Scholars. Many of these projects were also funded by outside sponsors. Overall, 2...
