The piezoelectric sensor test fixture was designed to echo a carnival ‘High Striker’ for Los Alamos National Laboratory. The test fixture uses a sound box to focus pressure waves onto a thin film ...

Above: A test fixture that allows for the acquisition of data through the use of various sensors to characterize an impact to the system. The Desktop High-Striker measures an impact utilizing a ...

Such a structure, consisting essentially of apatite crystals embedded in an organic matrix, might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline ...

Abstract: Harvesting energy from environmental vibrations using piezoelectric mechanism has attracted much attention for powering wireless sensors over the past decades. To enhance the environmental ...
