Hydrostatic Pressure Force on a Curved Surface

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
  • Robotics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Human touch recognizes object shapes via surface envelopment.
  • Existing stretchable haptic sensors lack flexibility and stability for precise pressure detection on deformed or curved surfaces.
  • Current sensors are limited to planar object recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a stretchable electronic skin (e-skin) capable of high-resolution pressure mapping on curved surfaces.
  • To overcome the limitations of existing haptic sensors in flexibility, stability, and curved surface applicability.

  • Fabrication of a liquid metal-based e-skin using a liquid metal microstructured electrode (LM-ME) array.
  • Utilizing femtosecond laser-induced micro/nanostructures and water/hydrogel assisted patterning for sensor element creation.
  • Incorporating an interlinked support isolation structure for enhanced sensor stability and reduced crosstalk.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high sensitivity (7.42 kPa⁻¹ in 0-0.1 kPa range) and stability.
  • Demonstrated high interfacial toughness (1328 J m⁻²) allowing function under bending and stretching.
  • Significantly reduced crosstalk from 58% to 7.8% compared to conventional flexible sensors.
  • Successfully performed pressure mapping on non-flat surfaces due to shape adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed liquid metal e-skin offers superior flexibility, stability, and shape adaptability for curved pressure mapping.
  • The embedded construction and laser-induced bumps effectively minimize crosstalk, enhancing sensing accuracy.
  • This technology holds significant potential for advanced object recognition in robotic skins and human-computer interaction applications.
