✦ Synopsis
A novel design of a quartz-diaphragm pressure transducer, reahzed Hrlth an AT crystal cut, IS described The resonator consists of a bossed and grooved diaphragm structure monohthlcally attached to a quartz frame Fmlteelement modellmg has been carned out to determine the dynarmc behavlour of the structure and the electrode configurations for exntmg a low-frequency bendmg resonance mode The selechwty of this vlbratlon mode due to a barometnc pressure change mamfests itself as a very sensltwe and stable frequency-sluft response Several diaphragm structures and electrode layouts have been fabncated employmg a specmlly developed low-cost batchmanufacturmg method combmed wth a laser process The dynamic properties of the resonatmg diaphragms are experimentally charactellzed by optical measurements In hybrid packagmg, the structures are used as oscdlatordriven sensor prototypes

## Abstract The human hip joint is capable of carrying loads exceeding several times body weight. The distribution of these loads over the load‐bearing cartilage surfaces in the hip is of considerable interest in terms of studying the behavior of cartilage under various loading conditions. A modifi
