Relation between Mass Sensitivity and Complex Power Flow in Love Wave Sensors [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the connection between average power flows in Love wave waveguides with the mass sensitivity of Love wave sensors. In fact, loading with a Newtonian liquid gives rise to two extra power flows, in the transverse direction ...
