Fingerprint-Inspired Strain Sensor with Balanced Sensitivity and Strain Range Using Laser-Induced Graphene.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2021
Sensitivity and strain range are two mutually exclusive features of strain sensors, where a significant improvement in flexibility is usually accompanied by a reduction in sensitivity.

Silica microspheres array strain sensor

Optics Letters, 2014
An optical fiber sensor based on arrays of silica microspheres is proposed. The microspheres are produced separately using a fusion splicer and then also connected in series by fusion splicing. Three different sensors are presented, differing by the number of microspheres.

Carbon nanotube yarn strain sensors

Nanotechnology, 2010
Carbon nanotube (CNT) based sensors are often fabricated by dispersing CNTs into different types of polymer. In this paper, a prototype carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn strain sensor with excellent repeatability and stability for in situ structural health monitoring was developed.

Graphene/polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite strain sensor

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2013
The objective of this research is to fabricate graphene nanopowder composites based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and to characterize the gauge factor of the graphene/PDMS composites for the use of strain sensors. The fabrication of graphene/PDMS composites can be accomplished by simple sonication and micro molding processes.

Strain sensor using twisted optical fibers

Optics Letters, 1984
A novel sensor using twisted optical fibers is proposed to detect distributed tensile strain. This sensor converts tensile strain to optical loss. The relation between tensile strain and optical loss is modeled and experimentally confirmed for uniform tensile strain.

Strain-induced magnetoresistance for novel strain sensors

Journal of Applied Physics, 2010
The strain-induced magnetoresistance (MR) has been investigated in detail by simulating the spin-rotation in spin-valve structures. The results show that the strain-induced anisotropy can be utilized to control the relative orientation of the spins in the two adjacently arranged ferromagnetic layers because each layer responds to the external strain ...

Piezoresistive Strain Sensors

2009
In contrast to the fixed strain incorporated in logic devices for a fixed or constant improvement in device performance, piezoresistive strain sensors respond to variable strain through a modulation in the device resistance. The underlying physics of performance improvement in logic devices and strain transduction in piezoresistive strain sensors is ...
