Pressure Gauges01:20

Pressure Gauges

4.0K
Most pressure gauges, like those on scuba tanks, are calibrated to read zero at atmospheric pressure. Readings from such gauges are called the gauge pressure, which is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. When the pressure inside the tank exceeds atmospheric pressure, the gauge reports a positive value. Some gauges are designed to measure negative pressure. For example, many physics experiments must take place in a vacuum chamber, a rigid chamber from which some of the air is pumped...

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

402
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Hydrostatic Pressure Force on a Curved Surface01:04

Hydrostatic Pressure Force on a Curved Surface

2.0K
Hydrostatic pressure on curved surfaces is a fundamental concept in fluid mechanics with broad applications in the civil engineering field. When fluid is in contact with a curved surface, as in a reservoir, dam, or storage tank, it exerts pressure that varies in magnitude and direction along the curved surface. To assess the total hydrostatic force exerted by the fluid on a curved structure, engineers typically isolate the fluid volume adjacent to the surface and analyze the forces acting on...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomimetics

Background:

  • Stretchable pressure sensors are crucial for electronic skin and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
  • Existing sensors often lack sufficient stretchability and consistent sensitivity under strain.
  • These limitations hinder their integration into wearable and skin-attachable electronics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an omnidirectionally stretchable piezoresistive pressure sensor with strain-independent sensitivity.
  • To mimic the sensory capabilities of a crocodile's skin for enhanced pressure detection.
  • To overcome the limitations of current stretchable pressure sensors for practical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a stretchable pressure sensor using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/silver nanowires (AgNWs) composite.
  • Incorporation of microdome structures and wrinkled surfaces inspired by crocodile sensory organs.
  • Testing sensor performance under various uniaxial and biaxial tensile strains.

Main Results:

  • The developed sensor demonstrates high sensitivity and negligible change under significant tensile strains (100% uniaxial, 50% biaxial).
  • Microdomes and isotropic wrinkles effectively decouple pressure detection from external strain.
  • The all-PDMS structure ensures excellent robustness and durability under repeated mechanical stress.

Conclusions:

  • The novel stretchable pressure sensor meets the demanding requirements for high deformability and strain-independent sensitivity.
  • This biomimetic sensor shows significant potential for applications in electronic skin, prosthetics, and human-machine interfaces.
  • The device offers a promising advancement for wearable electronics and artificial sensory systems.
