DETERMINATION OF FLUID DENSITY AND VISCOSITY BY ANALYZING FLEXURAL WAVE PROPAGATIONS ON THE VIBRATING MICRO-CANTILEVER

Determination of Fluid Density and Viscosity by Analyzing Flexural Wave Propagations on the Vibrating Micro-Cantilever

The determination of fluid density and viscosity using most cantilever-based sensors is based on changes in resonant frequency and peak width.Here, we present a wave propagation analysis using piezoelectrically excited micro-cantilevers under distributed fluid loading.The standing wave shapes of microscale-thickness cantilevers partially immersed i
