Dynamic strain sensing is relevant in numerous applications involving structural health monitoring, condition-based maintenance, operation efficiency preservation, and work environment safety. These sensors are particularly critical for high-temperature (HT) harsh-environment (HE) industries such as aerospace, automotive, power plants, and advanced manufacturing. In HT/HE, sensor implementation and measurement present challenges such as maintaining sensor stability, accounting for temperature cross-sensitivity, providing HT attachment, and packaging of the sensors and system. Surface acoustic wave resonator (SAWR) sensors can address these needs and offer additional benefits such as compact size and wireless interrogation capability. The SAWR sensitivity to dynamic strain is temperature dependent, making it necessary to measure the sensor temperature in order to use the correct dynamic strain calibration curve. In this work, a method for determining the temperature, dynamic strain magnitude, and dynamic strain spectral components using a single SAWR sensor is presented. Here, the established technique for determining operational temperature and dynamic strain magnitude/spectral components using only one SAWR simplifies the sensor measurement system, thus being very attractive for HT /HE applications.
