Solenoid Parameters
Solenoid Parameters
(OP)
Hi,
I need to design a solenoid or some other magnetic coil so that I can pick-up vibtations from a metal plate. I know that the type of the metal, the size of the solenoid, the number of turns etc will affect performance but I don't know how. I would appreciate if anyone could direct me to any books or resource that would be a guide. Thanks in advance.

An interface circuit is easier these days because some IC vendors make chips to handle all the details of interfacing to the transducer itself.
Then feed the output signal of the electronics circuit to your destination. They are very sound mechanically and quite sensitive. Not sure what your spec requirements are in this area.

While on this subject, They now make thumper transducers for those cars that like to shatter windows. These bolt onto seats, perhaps for hemeroid relief. At around $30 a pair, they can make a pretty cheap shaker table.
