We present a low-frequency sensor for the detection of vibrations, with a sub-nm amplitude, based on a cantilever made of a single-crystalline lithium niobate (LiNbO3) plate, with a bidomain ferroelectric structure. The sensitivity of the sensor-to-sinusoidal vibrational excitations was measured in terms of displacement as well as of acceleration amplitude. We show a linear behavior of the response, with the vibrational displacement amplitude in the entire studied frequency range up to 150 Hz. The sensitivity of the developed sensor varies from minimum values of 20 μV/nm and 7 V/g (where g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration), at a frequency of 23 Hz, to peak values of 92.5 mV/nm and 2443 V/g, at the mechanical resonance of the cantilever at 97.25 Hz. The smallest detectable vibration depended on the excitation frequency and varied from 100 nm, at 7 Hz, to 0.1 nm, at frequencies above 38 Hz. Sensors using bidomain lithium niobate single crystals, as sensitive elements, are promising for the detection of ultra-weak low-frequency vibrations in a wide temperature range and in harsh environments.

Vertical Borehole

A subsurface point body force can be realized using a body force on the axis of a small‐radius borehole drilled perpendicular to the force. This observation, originally made by Kitsunezaki (1980), is having a significant impact in shear‐wave logging, and may potentially affect downhole seismic sources. Applying the principle of reciprocity to this finding, a horizontal vibration sensor on the axis of a vertical hole will be unaffected by the existence of the hole at low frequencies. Numerical methods determine both the frequency below which, and the offset beyond which, borehole‐related effects are negligible. If the shear wavelength is greater than ten times the diameter of the hole and if the measurement is made at least one shear wavelength from the point force, then the borehole effects will be minimal.

The Time Domain

We characterized a vibration sensor made of piezoelectric paper by measuring the frequency response function of an aluminum cantilever that was subjected to impulse loading and random excitation. The dynamic characteristics of the device were measured by recording the transient response of the smart cantilever beam with a pair of electro-active paper (EAPap) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors located at a 5 mm distance from the clamped end as well as from a second pair of piezoelectric sensors located at a distance of 140 mm. The responses were measured by impacting the cantilever at its tip and at its mid-point. A fast Fourier transform was applied on the time domain data to measure the resonant frequencies of the vibrating structure. Both the EAPap and the PVDF sensors were observed to be very sensitive to varying levels of dynamic strain. The EAPap sensor showed a low strain sensitivity that was found to be desirable due to the inherent piezoelectricity and eco-friendly behavior of the material. The results revealed that the dynamic sensing ability of the EAPap at a low frequency range was quite comparable to that of PVDF when monitoring structural vibrations. The frequency response function was also measured via random excitation, piezoelectricity of the EAPap sensor shows potential for sensing vibrations with a dynamic response.
