Abstract [eng] The presence of microresonators are more evident these days ranging from biometric sensors to gyroscopes. The application of sensors into the molding cavities is a new challenge that is yet to be studied more. On the other hand microresonators designed using piezo materials are showing some promising results. In this study the author aim to develop a microresonator with piezoelectric materials for quality control in injection molding. This aim is achieved by investigating PZT composite material by experimental testing. A finite element of the proposed microresonator is created and simulated using the comsol multiphysics software. From the experiment results, the young’s modulus is calculated and used in further simulation work to find the excitation frequencies of the new PZT material. In this research them microresonators are integrated with piezo materials. Piezo materials can generate electrical signals which can be used to measure natural micro level changes, where devices like vibrometers or some other measurement methods are destructive and which are really hard to be used. Moreover these materials could assure high functionality and accuracy for micromechanical systems.
