Objective
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) occur at the interface of an elastic medium. The waves can be used to detect physical parameters at the surface such as strain, torque, pressure and temperature. The concept of SAW sensors has been proved at a scientific level but the industrial applications are very limited indeed. The potential for SAW sensors as a contact-less, low-cost and reliable sensor is enormous. This project will develop SAW sensors capable to operate for many different applications such as brushless DC motors, mixers for the food and chemical industry, electrical power tool, condition monitoring of rotating machines and parts, etc. The project will be an excellent solution for industries that at present cannot monitor their parts and/or processes due to lack of suitable sensors and will generate important markets within Europe.
