RESONATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE RESONATOR, AND STRAIN SENSOR AND SENSOR ARRAY INCLUDING THE RESONATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18063293 titled 'RESONATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE RESONATOR, AND STRAIN SENSOR AND SENSOR ARRAY INCLUDING THE RESONATOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a resonator, a method of manufacturing the resonator, and a strain sensor and sensor array including the resonator. The resonator is made of a single crystal material and extends in a specific crystal orientation that satisfies certain properties like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.

  • The patent application is for a resonator made of a single crystal material.
  • The resonator extends in a specific crystal orientation that satisfies properties like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.
  • The patent application also includes a method of manufacturing the resonator.
  • The resonator is used as a strain sensor and can be part of a sensor array.

Potential Applications

  • Strain sensing in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering.
  • Structural health monitoring of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.
  • Biomedical applications for monitoring strain in implants or prosthetics.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional resonators may not have the desired properties for strain sensing.
  • The method of manufacturing the resonator allows for precise control over its crystal orientation.
  • The resonator's single crystal material provides enhanced performance and reliability.

Benefits

  • Accurate and reliable strain sensing due to the resonator's specific crystal orientation.
  • Improved sensitivity and durability compared to traditional resonators.
  • The resonator can be integrated into sensor arrays for multi-point strain monitoring.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a resonator, a method of manufacturing the resonator, and a strain sensor and a sensor array including the resonator. The resonator is provided to extend in a lengthwise direction from a support. The resonator includes a single crystal material and is provided to extend in a crystal orientation that satisfies at least one from among a Young's modulus and a Poisson's ratio, from among crystal orientations of the single crystal material.
