- Model-assisted study of random GNP networks to understand electromechanical sensitivities.
- Development and experimental verification of two novel approaches: strain-differential electrical impedance tomography (SD-EIT) and an analytical method.
Main Results
- GNP films exhibit highest sensitivity to longitudinal strain, with transverse sensitivity exceeding 0.5 times longitudinal sensitivity.
- Sensitivity to shear strain is significantly lower.
- The developed SD-EIT and analytical methods successfully reconstruct plane strain components and detect anomalies in GNP sensing behavior.
Conclusions

Strain quantifies the deformation of a material under force, typically measured as normal strain, which represents the change in length when compared with the original length. Electrical strain gauges are used for enhanced accuracy. These devices consist of a conductive wire mounted on a paper backing that adheres to the material's surface. These gauges operate on the piezoresistive effect, where the wire's electrical resistance changes in response to mechanical deformation. The strain...
Three-dimensional strain analysis is crucial for understanding how materials deform under stress, particularly in elastic, homogeneous materials. This method employs principal stress axes to simplify complex stress states into more understandable forms. Subjected to stress, a small cubic element within a material either expands or contracts along these axes, transforming into a rectangular parallelepiped. This transformation effectively illustrates the material's deformation. The principal...
