As an established biometric authentication approach, fingerprint scanning has received considerable attention due to its high accuracy and reliability. In this article, the fingerprint reconstruction at any position is achieved in large physical doma...
A method based on the high-frequency ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) of a piezoelectric sensor array is proposed to monitor the depth of transverse cracks in rail bottoms. Selecting high-frequency UGWs with a center frequency of 350 kHz can enable the...
A point contact/Coulomb coupling technique is generally used for visualizing the ultrasonic waves in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramics. The point contact and delta pulse excitation produce a broadband frequency spectrum and wide directional wave...
