Bending sensor

A completely other lay out is given in Figure 12, where a top view of a bend sensor is shown. Tapers and channel off sets have been introduced for reducing the background attenuation.

There are two types of sensors to be distinguished axial and bending sensors. In the case of an axial sensor the force works in the polarization direction, while for the bending sensor the force works perpendicularly to it. Concerning the latter, emerging tensile or pressure forces depend on the distance of the active material from the neutral fiber [91].

Figure Bl.19.23. Principle of simultaneous measurement of nomial and lateral (torsional) forces. The intensity difference of the upper and lower segments of the photodiode is proportional to the z-bending of the cantilever. The intensity difference between the right and left segments is proportional to the torsion, t, of the force sensor. (Taken from [110], figure 2.)...

To reduce pollution contamination, sensors or receptors installed m ducts or pipes are placed and installed after the filtration of the air or fluid. Sensors in pipes must be installed primarily in bends and in the direction against dynamic flow. At least two-thirds of the sensor pocket has to be in contact with the fluid. If the pipe diameter is less than the sensor length, the pocket can be installed at an angle less than 90° against the direction of flow to provide the necessary contact area. 

The physical and chemical properties of MgO films prepared by the sol-gel technique were the area interest of the examinations presented by Shukla75. The aim of mentioned work was to produce films with nano size particles so as to employ them for the sensor applications, as adsorption in such films increases many folds due to the increase of surface area. Infra-red spectroscopic studies indicated the presence of solvent in the precursor, which helped in decomposition to nano-particles during nucleation of the film. The MgO sol-gel films were deposited on the glass rod bend in U-shape for humidity sensor.

Displacement sensors are used in a very wide field of applications in research, development, quality inspection, automation, machinery and process control. Many physical parameters can be reduced to a displacement or change of distance, and can be measured with highest precision. Displacement sensors detect physical parameters like bending, deflection, deformation, diameter, eccentricity, elongation, gap, length, play, position, revolution, roundness, shift, stroke, thickness, tilt, tolerances, vibration, wear and width.

A special holder was designed and realized to host the LPG straight without bending and under similar tensional conditions during both coating procedure and subsequent sensor testing to minimize the effects of the LPG cross-sensitivity to other environmental parameters.
