Optimisation of a Thick-Film 10...400 N Force Sensor

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Giancarlo Corradini, Niklaus Johner, Gregory Affolter

Abstract: The ring-on-ring bending principle allows the fabrication of simple, low-cost thick-film piezoresistive sensors for compressive forces in the 10 to 400 N range. However some imperfections are encountered in its basic embodiment, such as relativel ...

Enhancing mechanical properties of multiwall carbon nanotubes via sp(3) interwall bridging

William Curtin

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations under transverse shear, uniaxial compression, and pullout loading configurations are reported for multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different fraction of interwall sp(3) bonds. The interwall shear coupling in MWCN ...
