Among smart materials, piezoelectric materials have attracted research attention for their use in industrial applications to produce devices such as sensors and actuators. Due to their ability to ...

Drums! You hit them, and they vibrate. It’s kind of fun. Piezoelectric elements can create electric current when they vibrate. [Will Dana] put two and two together to try and charge his ...

Researchers measure the performance of a piezo-phototronic device in which a laser changes the conductance of a metal contact attached to a zinc oxide structure. (Photo by Gary Meek) Researchers at ...

The present study is on the feasibility of the effectiveness of the embedded resin-jacketed piezo (RJP) sensor for monitoring concrete strength using electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique. In ...
