This study models quasi-Lamb modes in a-SiC/ZnO plates for liquid sensing. The findings support developing high-frequency electroacoustic sensors for detecting viscosity and mass changes in liquids.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Acoustics
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Developing sensors for liquid parameter detection (viscosity, added mass) is crucial for various applications.
  • Thin composite plates offer potential for novel sensor designs due to their unique wave propagation characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model and analyze quasi-Lamb modes in aluminum-silicon carbide/zinc oxide (a-SiC/ZnO) thin composite plates.
  • To investigate the feasibility of these structures for designing microwave frequency sensors capable of probing the solid/liquid interface.
  • To evaluate the sensitivity of these modes to changes in liquid viscosity and added mass.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical solution of coupled electro-mechanical field equations in a three-media system.
  • Calculation of mode shapes, power flow, phase velocity, and electroacoustic coupling efficiency (K²).
