- Additional information
- This research presented a systematic method for efficiently designing flexural ultrasonic transducers (FUTs) and developed a high-frequency FUT whose operating frequency is around 2.5 times of the frequency of commercial FUTs (e.g., MA40S4S, MA40S4R, etc, produced by Murata). Increasing the frequency of ultrasonic waves can effectively improve the accuracy of ultrasonic measurement. There are many manufacturers and numerous users for FUTs. One typical application of FUTs is serving as the parking sensors for land vehicles produced by numerous car manufacturers such as Toyota and BMW, etc. This research was part of the EPSRC-funded project HiFFUT (Grant No. EP/N025393/1).
