One-day seminar - force measurement using piezoelectric sensors

Although piezoelectric sensor technology has many advantages over other types of sensor technologies, a clear understanding of piezoelectric measurement is essential for the full benefits to be obtained under real-world conditions. The seminar will be relevant to all those responsible for designing and building instrumentation and measurement systems, especially where challenging environmental conditions may be encountered. A major quality of piezoelectric sensors is the ability to monitor highly dynamic impact events, often under harsh operating conditions.

Subjects to be covered include:

• Design, principles and benefits of piezoelectric sensors
• A practical exercise on fitting and mounting of a force sensor
• Charge signal conditioning and system integration
• Calibration and measurement

The seminars will be held at the AMP Tech Centre, Sheffield on the 6 November 2012 and at Kents Hill Park, Milton Keynes on the 8 November 2012. The delegate fee is 200 for a single delegate and 175 per delegate for two or more. The fee includes all course material, refreshments and lunch.
