A wireless sensor network was created to measure water-flow rate in a fire hose. An
integrated electronic piezoelectric (IEPE) accelerometer was chosen as the sensor to …

This paper presents a flexure-based compliant mechanism for testing accelerometer
transverse sensitivity. The definition of transverse sensitivity is first described. Subsequently …

in oil and gas industries. Accurately identifying flow types and estimating flow velocities of
the individual phases are crucial for different purposes, such as observing the process status …

Unbalance in rotating machineries is always a critical concern to industry and involved a
huge cost in sensing by sophisticated devices. A simple coin-type piezoelectric element is …

This work presents the design and test of a fiber optic-based one-axes accelerometer. This
device is a reflexive-optical accelerometer and implements a membrane for the seismic …

The study confirms the feasibility of using information from flow-induced vibration generated
by bluff bodies for measurement of flow. The proposed methodology is based on …

In recent years, flexible and stretchable sensors have been a subject of intensive research to
replace the traditional sensors made up of metal and semiconductors. This thesis has been …

End stage heart failure is a major challenge in the developed countries. Heart
transplantation, the treatment of choice, is limited by organ supply. Left ventricular assist …
