Optimisation and Implementation of a Vibrational Induced Energy Based Sensor System Using PVDF Cantilever

This paper addresses the optimization and implementation of a PVDF based flow sensing system. A chamber with six cavities arranged in an array has been simulated and the response of the sensing element at different locations are studied and verified experimentally. Some geometric parameters such as the dimension of the channel and the distance of the holes from the cantilever are varied and the response of the cantilever is monitored. The experiment is performed for different velocities of the air flow.
