However, detecting internal broken wires using traditional Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing remains a challenge due to the low Signal-to-Background Ratio (SBR). To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel sensor composed of multilayer-arranged Hall elements (MAHE) based on the Radial Differential Magnetic Flux Leakage (RDMFL) principle, aiming for effective detection of broken wires at various depths within the cable. The RDMFL method detects damage by superimposing the differences in magnetic flux density measured at multiple radial points and identifying local peaks in the combined signals. A theoretical expression for the RDMFL signal is derived, and the influence of MAHE sensor structural parameters on both SBR and amplitude enhancement of broken wire signals is analyzed. Finite element simulations are used to verify performance improvements and identify the optimal structural parameters. Experimental results on a cable specimen demonstrated that the MAHE sensor-equipped testing system effectively detected single broken wires positioned in layers 1–7 of a PES7–127 specification cable (comprising 127 steel wires, each with a 7 mm diameter). Meanwhile, a preliminary image of all broken wires within the cable specimen was generated, providing a clear magnetic field visualization of the damages. Finally, the detection capability of the MAHE sensor was analyzed using a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the optimized threshold for identifying broken wires was determined.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21689,"journal":{"name":"Sensors and Actuators A-physical","volume":"391 ","pages":"Article 116668"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143912206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a circular artificial basilar membrane (CABM) as a piezoelectric acoustic sensor inspired by the tonotopic frequency selectivity of the basilar membrane in the cochlea. The sensor integrates four distinct PVDF thin films into a single robust platform, enabling simultaneous multi-frequency detection. The sensor operates across a biologically relevant frequency range of 100–3000 Hz, covering essential human speech and environmental sound frequencies. A major challenge in biomimetic acoustic sensing is achieving frequency selectivity while maintaining a conformal and scalable design. This study addresses this by optimizing membrane geometry, device design, and experimental configurations. Additionally, minimizing wave reflection, diffraction, and entrapment effects required systematic optimization of sensor positioning and testing conditions. This research integrates analytical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation to investigate membrane dynamics. Resonance frequencies were derived using acoustic principles, refined through Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations, and validated via Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV). The effects of membrane diameter, sound intensity, source distance, and sound direction were analyzed to characterize sensor behavior. The successful integration of the four-channel CABM system, mimicking the cochlea’s tonotopic behavior, marks a step forward in artificial cochlear devices.
