ABSTRACT:
Method and device for sensing stress waves. One embodiment is a method that includes providing a bendable support with one or more mounts each located at an end of the support; attaching a semiconductor element containing a plurality of piezoresistors, each having impedance, to the support; connecting the support to the component by the mounts of the support; and sensing the impedance of the plurality of piezoresistors.
