  • To date, there has been no employment of a magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor method to detect Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in soil. The ME biosensor method needs to be investigated and modified for its successful performance. The filtration method, cation-exchange resin method, and combinations of both methods were employed for the extraction of S. Typhimurium from soil. The number of S. Typhimurium and the resonant frequency shift of the ME sensor were then compared using a brilliant green sulfa agar plate and an HP 8751A network analyzer. A blocking study was performed using bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and casein powder suspension. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was performed to detect S. Typhimurium in soil. The number of S. Typhimurium was significantly decreased from 7.10 log CFU/soil to 4.45-4.72 log CFU/soil after introduction of the cation-exchange resin method. The greatest resonant frequency shift of the measurement sensor was found when employing centrifugation and filtration procedures. The resonant frequency shift of the PEG-blocked measurement sensor was $3,219{\pm}755Hz$, which was significantly greater than those of the BSA- and casein-blocked ME sensor. The optimum concentration of PEG was determined to be 1.0 mg/ml after considering the resonant shift and economic issue. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was able to detect S. Typhimurium in soil in a dose-response manner. Although these modifications of the ME biosensor method sacrificed some advantages, such as cost, time effectiveness, and operator friendliness, this study demonstrated a novel approach of the ME biosensor method to detect S. Typhimurium in soil.

  • Recently we have reported that the meander-patterned amorphous FeCoSiB films exhibit large change in their high frequency impedance by applying a strain, suggesting that the films are very attractive for making of a highly sensitive strain sensor elements. In this study, the effect of anisotropy on a change in the impedance of sputtered amorphous film patterns was investigated in the frequency range from 1MHz to 1GHz. As a function of applied strains, the high frequency impedance was extremely changed in the case of film patterns with transverse anisotropy due to excellent magnetomechanical coupling properties. As a summary, the maximum figure of merit f has measured about 2600 in the case of transverse anisotropy, and about 500 in the case of longitudinal anisotropy at 500 MHz. These values of F are approximately more than 1000 times higher than that of a conventional metal strain gauge (F 2) and more than 10 times higher than that of a semiconductor gauge (F 200).

  • An analytical study on the stability of steel plates in the presence of magnetic fields is carried out based on a model which accounts for the nonlinear field-structure interaction. The resultant force system arising from the interaction between the magnetic fields and ferromagnetic plates is derived using the variational principle. The bending and buckling problems of steel plates in oblique magnetic fields are investigated with the aid of the finite element method. Numerical results reveal some interesting features of the magnetoelastic buckling phenomenon.

  • A review of mechanical sensing techniques based on magnetic methods is presented, with special reference to magnetoelastic strain gauges and force sensors. A novel strain sensor based on soft amorphous ribbons is described. Other types of magnetic sensors, for the measurement of torque and displacement are briefly discussed. An overview of magnetic actuators based on giant magnetostrictive materials, with some practical examples, is presented. Recent advances in the development and application of magnetic shape memory materials are discussed, together with the analysis of recent studies for the description of magnetic shape memory phenomena.
