摘要
Flexural plate waves propagating on thin silicon-nitride membranes in contact with viscous fluids are studied. The attenuation of the plate wave is shown in an approximate analysis to depend on the amount of viscous dissipation that occurs in the liquid. The effective mass in the viscous boundary layer increases the mass loading of the membrane over the amount due to density variations alone, resulting in a decrease in the frequency of maximum transmission. Measurements of the wave attenuation and frequency response of the plate-wave delay line in water-glycerol solutions demonstrate viscosity-density sensor applications in liquids with viscosities exceeding 1000 cP. © 1990.
