Magnetoelastic sensors, typically made of magnetostrictive and magnetically-soft materials, can be fabricated from commercially available materials into a variety of shapes and sizes for their intended applications. Since these sensors are wirelessly interrogated via magnetic fields, they are good candidates for use in both research and industry, where detection of environmental parameters in closed and controlled systems is necessary. Common applications for these sensors include the investigation of physical, chemical, and biological parameters based on changes in mass loading at the sensor surface which affect the sensor's behavior at resonance. To improve the performance of these sensors, optimization of sensor geometry, size, and detection conditions are critical to increasing their mass sensitivity and detectible range. This work focuses on investigating how the geometry of the sensor influences its resonance spectrum, including the sensor's shape, size, and aspect ratio. In addition to these factors, heterogeneity in resonance magnitude was mapped for the sensor surface and the effect of the magnetic bias field strength on the resonance spectrum was investigated. Analysis of the results indicates that the shape of the sensor has a strong influence on the emergent resonant modes. Reducing the size of the sensor decreased the sensor's magnitude of resonance. The aspect ratio of the sensor, along with the bias field strength, was also observed to affect the magnitude of the signal; over or under biasing and aspect ratio extremes were observed to decrease the magnitude of resonance, indicating that these parameters can be optimized for a given shape and size of magnetoelastic sensor.
磁弹传感器通常由磁致伸缩和软磁材料制成,可从市售材料制成各种形状和尺寸,以满足其预期应用。由于这些传感器通过磁场进行无线询问,因此它们是研究和工业领域的理想选择,在这些领域中,需要在封闭和受控系统中检测环境参数。这些传感器的常见应用包括基于传感器表面质量负载变化对传感器在共振时的行为的影响来研究物理、化学和生物参数。为了提高这些传感器的性能,对传感器几何形状、尺寸和检测条件进行优化对于提高其质量灵敏度和可检测范围至关重要。这项工作重点研究了传感器的几何形状如何影响其共振光谱,包括传感器的形状、尺寸和纵横比。除了这些因素之外,还对传感器表面的共振幅度异质性进行了映射,并研究了磁场偏置强度对共振光谱的影响。结果分析表明,传感器的形状对出现的共振模式有很强的影响。减小传感器的尺寸会降低传感器的共振幅度。传感器的纵横比以及偏置场强度也被观察到会影响信号的幅度;过偏置或欠偏置以及纵横比极端情况都会降低共振幅度,这表明这些参数可以针对给定的磁弹传感器形状和尺寸进行优化。
