Metallic Glass/PVDF Magnetoelectric Laminates for Resonant Sensors and Actuators: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures, ME laminates of the type Metglas-like/PVDF (magnetostrictive+piezoelectric constituents) have shown the highest induced ME voltages, usually detected at the magnetoelastic resonance of the magnetostrictive constituent. This ME coupling happens because of the high cross-correlation coupling between magnetostrictive and piezoelectric material, and is usually associated with a promising application scenario for sensors or actuators. In this work we detail the basis of the operation of such devices, as well as some arising questions (as size effects) concerning their best performance. Also, some examples of their use as very sensitive magnetic fields sensors or innovative energy harvesting devices will be reviewed. At the end, the challenges, future perspectives and technical difficulties that will determine the success of ME composites for sensor applications are discussed.

Sensitivity Enhancement of Magnetic Sensors Based on Metglas/pvdf Laminates Using the Flux Concentration Effect
In this paper the magnetic flux density concentration of Metglas as a function of its sheet aspect ratio was investigated for Metglas/Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) laminar composites. The magnetic flux density inside a Metglas sheet increases when its aspect ratio (cross-section width/length) is reduced. Both simulations and experimental results verified it. Consequently the magnetostriction o...

In this paper, a PVDF film sensor was used to measure the transient responses of a cantilever beam subjected to an impact loading. The measurement capability of a PVDF sensor is affected by the area of the PVDF film sensor and the signal conditioner (charge amplifier). The influences of these effects on the experimental measurements were investigated. The transient responses for the dynamic str...

Due to advantages such as light weight, flexibility, and low cost, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films have been widely used in engineering applications as sensors for detecting strain, pressure, or micro-force. However, it is known that PVDF strain sensors have strain cross-sensitivity in mutually orthogonal directions. Furthermore, the size of the PVDF film sensor would also affect the dynam...
