I am Ipsa biswas. Final year B.tech student.My mail id is ipsabiswas[at]gmail.com.I want a book about thisefinition, principles of sensing and transduction, classification
Mechanical and Electromechanical sensors

Resistive (potentiometric) type: Forms, materials, resolution, accuracy,
sensitivity

Strain Gauges: theory, types, materials, design consideration, sensitivity,
gauge factor, variation with temperature, adhesives, rosettes, applicationsforce,
velocity and torque measurements

Inductive sensors: common types- reluctance change type, mutual
inductance change type, transformer action type, - brief discussion with
respect to materials, construction and input output variables,
Ferromagnetic plunger type-short analysis; proximity measurement

LVDT: Construction, materials, output-input relationship, I/O curve,
discussion,Capacitive sensors: Variable distance- parallel plate type, Variable area- parallel plate,
serrated plate/teeth type and cylindrical type, variable dielectric constant type:
calculation of sensitivities; proximity measurement
Stretched Diaphragm type: microphones, response characteristics


Piezoelectric elements: piezoelectric effects, charge and voltage coefficients, crystal
model, materials, natural and synthetic types – their comparison, force and stress
sensing, piezoelectric accelerometer

Tachometers – Stroboscopes, Encoders, seismic accelerometer, Measurement of
vibration.

Module III
