摘要
The magnetostrictive sensor (MsS) is a type of transducer which can generate and detect time-varying stresses or strains in ferromagnetic materials. In this paper, a general description is first given of the physical principles of the MsS, sensor configuration and instrumentation, and operating characteristics and capabilities. Then a description is given of its various scientific and engineering applications, including the study of wave dispersion in structures, global and long-range inspection of steel pipes and tubes, condition monitoring of machinery such as combustion engines, and onboard sensing of crash events for vehicle safety system operations.
