Physical Properties Sensors

Physical property sensors measure physical qualities of samples such as temperature, moisture, density, thermal diffusivity, stiffness, thickness, bending stiffness, shear rigidity, elastic moduli, presence of irregularities (cracks, voids, edges), defects, and strength.

Acoustic Sensors

Sensors can be designed that make use of acoustic signatures for troubleshooting in industrial settings.

Laser Ultrasonic Sensors

LBNL engineers have invented and developed a laser ultrasonic sensor for nondestructive, non-contact, quantitative evaluation of physical properties of web-manufactured material while it moves at production speeds.

Magnetic Resonance Sensors

Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Sensors, employs a traditional and emerging "outside the magnet" MR techniques to nondestructively measure sample properties, including elastic properties of soft materials.
