- Design a simple elastically deforming structure with optimal placement of sensing elements using the basic physics of metal and semiconductor strain gauges (piezo-resistive transduction).
- Derive the potential energy function for generator type transducers and based on this perform equilibrium and stability analysis.
- Explain the relation between the potential energy function of a generator type transducer and its small signal parameters.

The Transducers part of the module explains the main principles used in transducers (sensors and actuators) design. The focus is on piezoresistive and capacitive transducers. The capacitive transducers are a good example of so-called energy storing generator type of transducers, which can be analyzed through the appropriate potential energy function. In this part four major assignments are used to cover the learning aims.
