Fig. 1. Strip-type deformation sensors. One ply of cured carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg to be monitored is used as a thin, flexible sheet with optical fibers — one embedded in the upper surface and one in ...

Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a solar-powered, wireless sensor system that can continually monitor bridge deformation and could be used to alert authorities ...

Researchers have invented a sensor that can detect different kinds of fabric deformation such as stretch, pressure and torque - all at the same time. According to Professor Fabien Sorin and doctoral ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

Harvard SEAS competition rewards low-cost tactile sensor, artificial fin, deformation sensor and robot "worm". Finger printed: Components of the winning TacTip Sensor. The winners of the 2016 Soft ...
