Download or read book Piezoelectric Transducers and Applications written by Antonio Arnau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piezoelectric Transducers and Applications provides a guide for graduate students and researchers to the current state of the art of this complex and multidisciplinary area. The book fills an urgent need for a unified source of information on piezoelectric devices and their astounding variety of existing and emerging applications. Some of the chapters focus more on the basic concepts of the different disciplines involved and are presented in a didactic manner. Others go deeper into the complex aspects of specific fields of research, thus reaching the technical level of a scientific paper. Among other topics resonant sensors, especially bulk acoustic wave thickness shear mode resonators, chemical and bio-sensors, as well as broadband ultrasonic systems are treated in-depth.
