The dynamic pressure sensors mounted to the shock tube typically employ piezoelectric systems that generate an electric charge when a passing pressure wave distorts the shape of the sensor's membrane.

Series 105 is a new family of miniature pressure sensors for monitoring dynamic combustion pressure in diesel and natural-gas engines and other reciprocating equipment, which can extend ...

Professor Lee’s team has developed the wearable piezoelectric blood pressure sensor by transferring a highly sensitive, inorganic piezoelectric membrane from bulk sapphire substrates to flexible ...

PCB Piezotronics, Inc. has introduced Series 105, a new family of ICP® miniature dynamic pressure sensors, ideal for monitoring dynamic combustion pressure in diesel and natural gas powered engines, ...

The Model 175A01 dynamic pressure sensor from PCB Piezotronics can be used for measuring dynamic combustion pressure in gasoline or diesel engines. This high-temperature (to +600°F/+315°C), ...

For example, piezoelectric sensors can resist high temperatures and highly dynamic pressure processes especially well, while diaphragm-based differential pressure sensors are well suited to ...

Piezoelectric sensors rely on the piezoelectric effect to measure a plethora of parameters such as pressure, strain, or force by, once again, converting them to voltages.

The idea of using the piezoelectric effect to make pressure sensors is not new, says Toh-Ming Lu, a professor of applied physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). “What’s interesting ...
