Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Sand and small stones moving on riverbeds cause topographical changes such as local lowing and scouring. Measurement of the size distributions of bed load is important to prevent river disasters, and robust and simple particle sizer without electric power supply is required. In this report, a passive piezoelectric sensor for the measurement of particle size distribution was investigated. The sensor consists of a stainless-steel circular plate and an annular piezoelectric transducer. Naturally-shaped stone particles were employed as simulated bed loads. When the particles hit the surface of the sensor, the ultrasound flexural vibration was excited on the circular plate of the sensor and the electric power was generated through the piezoelectric effect. In the case that the sequential impacts happened with several particles, the output signals were overlapped temporally, and the particle size distribution was predicted by the time-frequency analysis.
