Signal conditioning Technique for Magnetoelastic Sensors

摘要

Magnetoelastic materials are obtaining an increasing interest in the last few years. Magnetoelastic wave resonant frequency is the sensory parameter generally used to reliably obtain critical information, nevertheless, it was shown that wave amplitude also is very sensitive to measure displacements or magnetic fields. Both parameters, amplitude and resonance frequency could be used as the "sensitive parameter" in no-contact bvibration sensors or stress, flux or magnetic field sensors. To make them advantageous to be used, some problems should be solved: the excitation problem (to induce resonance) and the conversion problem (to transduce frequency or amplitude information into ac onvenient electric sighal); in other works, the signal conditioning problem.
