Here, we present a new application of physical sensors: monitoring muscle activities and fatigue through the changes in the physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) of muscles. The concept is that the contraction of excited muscle fibers results in muscle center bulges and PCSA enlargement. The peripheral length of a muscle perpendicular to the contracting direction is also increased. This increment in muscle peripheral length can be utilized to infer muscle activity and fatigue-induced tremors. To monitor muscle activities and fatigue through peripheral length change, we developed an ultra-compliant piezoelectric muscle patch sensor (MPS) that attaches to the skin above the muscle of interest. The MPS is constructed by a piezoelectric yarn composed of P(VDF-TrFE) fibers and is encapsulated inside silicon rubber to reach high repeatability, durability, and linearity. This MPS is highly compliant and can follow the bulge of the muscle contractions without introducing restrictions on PCSA change. We demonstrate that the MPS can faithfully monitor the changes in peripheral length during various isometric, concentric, and eccentric muscle contractions and fatigue. It is verified that the contribution of each muscle group to gestures and body movements can be directly monitored. The MPS can be broadly applied to sports, virtual reality, gaming, muscular disorders rehabilitation, and essential tremor disorder sensors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21689,"journal":{"name":"Sensors and Actuators A-physical","volume":"393 ","pages":"Article 116823"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144366784","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}

To address this critical issue, a novel structure design strategy by selectively exciting additional high-order resonance with net air volume pushing characteristic in the transduction structure is presented. Under the effect of resonance amplification, the broadband SPL output capability of the speaker can be effectively enhanced without compromising the compact device size. In proof-of-concept experiment, a Scandium-doped Aluminum Nitride (ScAlN) based piezoelectric MEMS speaker consisting of four identical triangular cantilever beam-like piezoelectric actuators that are arranged into a square configuration is used. Through elaborately designing the cantilever beam structure and the top electrode partition as well as corresponding driving strategy, both of its first-order (4.05 kHz) and the third-order (17.83 kHz) resonance modes can be specifically activated to cover relatively wide frequency range. From the SPL spectrum measurement results using the IEC ear simulator, it can be seen that the as-fabricated speaker prototype can successfully generate SPL higher than 90 dB over the whole audio frequency range. Especially for frequency above 65 Hz, even higher SPL of 100 dB can be achieved, under driving voltage of 20 V<sub>pp</sub> despite of its compact active area of 3.2 × 3.2 mm². Moreover, excellent operation linearity has also been revealed even the driving voltage is increased to as high as 30 V<sub>pp</sub> and the total harmonic distortion (THD) as low as 0.52 % at 1 kHz (108 dB SPL) can be obtained. Given the competitive wideband performance, the proposed strategy demonstrates potential application perspective in developing piezoelectric MEMS speaker to meet commercial requirements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21689,"journal":{"name":"Sensors and Actuators A-physical","volume":"393 ","pages":"Article 116812"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321974","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}
