A model has been developed for the detection of ultrasonic waves using electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs). EMATs are particle velocity sensors, which can be designed to have sensitivity to in-plane and/or out-of-plane ultrasonic displacements, by suitably arranging the magnetic field in the receiving EMATs relative to the orientation of the coil. Good agreement between the results from the modeling undertaken and experimental measurements has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
