Design and fabrication of precision carbon nanotube-based flexural transducers
… and more sensitive force and displacement sensors need to be developed. Currently, many biological, materials science, and nanomanufacturing applications could benefit from multi-axis micro- and nanoscale sensors with fine force and displacement resolutions. Unfortunately, such systems do …

Blast diagnostic tools and techniques: a review
… Thus, it is imperative to choose appropriate sensors and measurement techniques to consistently acquire useful data. Past studies conducted in diagnostics of energetic materials were focused on the energy release and the material properties, but very few, if any, placed an emphasis on the …

Towards an Intelligent Intervertebral Disc Prosthesis for the Assessment of Spinal Loading
… Following a critical review of possible suitable sensors to be embedded within the artificial spinal disc, it was concluded that strain gauges and piezoresistive thin layer sensors were the most appropriate for incorporation within the body of the artificial spinal disc. The loading cell has been …

Multi-Scale Architecture-Driven Design of Ultra-Soft Conductive Composites for Flexible and Wearable Sensing Applications
Flexible and wearable sensing systems require materials that combine high mechanical compliance with reliable electrical performance under repeated deformation. Conventional soft conductive composites rely on stochastic percolation networks, where conductive fillers are randomly distributed within …
