In this work, we characterise a flexural mechanical amplifier, which is used for the realisation of a miniaturised piezoelectric inchworm motor designed for large force (some N) and stroke (tens of mm) operation as it is required e.g., for medical implants. The characterisation is based on high precision optical displacement measurements and a force self-sensing approach. An optically measured displacement of 292 nm in lateral direction and 910 nm in vertical direction of the flexural mechanical amplifier has been obtained, corresponding to a deflection attenuation factor of 3.1. Piezoelectric self-sensing of force was used to determine a force amplification factor of 3.43 from the mechanical oval structure.
Microfabricated 2D inductive eddy-current transducers operating in a reflection differential transmitter-receiver mode are presented for the micro nondestructive detection of micro grinding burn. 2D spiral circular microcoils are employed as excitation coils, while an innovatively conceptualized “interconnected split-D” type differential microcoil is used as a sensing coil. Finite element modelling using COMSOL revealed the efficacy of proposed concept in non-destructive testing of small grinding burn having a width of 100 µm. The induced sensing coil voltage changed as a function of presence of grinding burn, with successful recording of the signal for the investigated lift-off range of 250 µm - 1000 µm for 100 kHz to 1 MHz driving frequencies of excitation coil. Experimental validation showed a 94% increase in the induced voltage of the sensing coil in presence of grinding burn on increasing the driving frequency of excitation coil from 100 kHz to 1 MHz. Thereby, revealing the superficial nature of the grinding burn defect, and showing the efficacy of the proposed concept for the non-destructive testing of grinding burn.
