Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative ...

Prof. Ramaswamy Nagarajan from the department of plastics engineering at UMass Lowell has developed a new type of strain sensor suitable for wirelessly monitoring the mechanical deformation in tension ...

Resistive strain sensors hold significant potential in wearable sensing devices due to their lightweight nature, simple structure, and rapid response. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, particularly ...

Dynamic strain rate testing is a critical methodology for examining how materials respond under rapidly applied loads. This approach enables researchers to quantify mechanical properties such as ...

The development of bioinspired electronic skin plays a pivotal role in enhancing robotic environmental perception and ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

(Nanowerk News) Wearable devices and smart sensors are transforming how we monitor health and activity, from tracking heartbeats to detecting body movements. However, traditional tools like ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Apple is researching strain gage sensors, likely in an effort to improve the Apple Watch's strength training capabilities, according to a recent job listing (via MyHealthyApple). The job listing from ...

Many conventional strain gages are similar in appearance to Figure 1. A serpentine pattern etched into a metal foil creates a relatively high resistance in a small space. The foil is bonded to a thin ...

A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it's able to "read" the wearer's silently mouthed words. Developed at China's Tsinghua University, the flexible, stretchable sensor takes the form of a ...
