I learned about vibraing wire type pressure sensor. How it works?

Do you mean vibrating wire type pressure sensors? If so, here's a clip out of the wiki entry:

"Uses the changes in resonant frequency in a sensing mechanism to measure stress, or changes in gas density, caused by applied pressure. This technology may be used in conjunction with a force collector. Alternatively, resonant technology may be employed by expose the resonating element itself to the media, whereby the resonant frequency is dependent upon the density of the media. Sensors have been made out of vibrating wire, vibrating cylinders, quartz, and silicon MEMS. Generally, this technology is considered to provide very stable readings over time."

Straight from the entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_sensor

Hope that helps.
