A Wafer-Bonded, Floating Element Shear-Stress Sensor Using a Geometric Moiré Optical Transduction Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a geometric Moiré optical-based floating-element shear stress sensor for wind tunnel turbulence measurements. The sensor was fabricated using an aligned waferbond/thin-back process producing optical gratings on the backside of a floating element and on the top surface of the support wafer. Measured results indicate a static sensitivity of 0.26 μm/Pa, a resonant frequency of 1.7 kHz, and a noise floor of 6.2 mPa/√Hz.

متن کاملDirect measurement of wall shear stress in a reattaching flow with a photonic sensor
Wall shear stress measurements are carried out in a planar backward-facing step flow using a micro-optical sensor. The sensor is essentially a floating element system and measures the shear stress directly. The transduction method to measure the floating element deflection is based on the whispering gallery optical mode (WGM) shifts of a dielectric microsphere. This method is capable of measuri...
متن کاملViscoelastic analysis of stress distribution in balanced and unbalanced adhesively bonded single-lap joints with functionally graded adherends under the Reddy model
In this study, shear and peel stress distributions in the viscoelastic adhesive layer of a single-lap joint (SLJ) with functionally graded (FG) adherends are investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different adherend profiles and material composition on the time-dependent stress concentration/distribution in balanced and unbalanced SLJs. For this purpose, the Reddy model is applied to ...
متن کاملImproved Micro Thermal Shear-Stress r
AbstructMicro hot-film shear-stress sensors have been designed and fabricated by surface micromachining technology which is compatible with IC technology. A polysilicon strip, 2 pmx80 pm, is deposited on top of a thin silicon nitride film and functions as the sensor element. By using the sacrificial-layer technique, a cavity (a vacuum chamber of about 300 mtorr), 2 0 0 x 2 0 0 ~ 2 pm, is placed...
متن کاملSurface Shear Stress Fluctuations in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
A lightweight, high frequency response, floating element sensor was used to measure wall shear stress fluctuations in an atmospheric surface layer. The sensor uses a laser position measurement system to track the motion of the floating element. The measurements were taken as part of an internationally coordinated experimental program designed to make extensive spatial and temporal measurements ...
