Dynamic Measurement System for Contact Pressure Distribution in Human Joints Utilizing Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Rubber.

Characterisation of Contact Pressure Distribution in Bolted Joints

Contact pressure distribution in joints formed by V-band clamps

V-band clamps offer an efficient clamping solution in diverse applications including process equipment, exhaust systems and air handling. This paper studies the distribution of interface contact pressure between the V-band and flange when the coupling is established. The determination of the contact area and pressure distribution in a joint is essential information, as it determines the integri...

A pressure sensitive palatography: application of new pressure sensitive sheet for measuring tongue-palatal contact pressure

This paper describes a new method for measuring the tonguepalatal contact pressure using a thin pressure sensor and its application for speech research. The new pressure sensor is composed of thin pressure sensitive ink whose electrical resistance is proportional to the physical forces applied to the sensor. Several sensors were arranged on the surface of the palatal plate. This setup was used ...

Resistivity Characteristics of Piezoresistive Based Transduction Tactile Sensing Using Pressure Sensitive Conductive Rubber Sheet

This paper presents the development of a tactile sensor based on pressure sensitive conductive rubber and outlines the resistance measurements performance. This sensor is specially designed for a robotic hand developed at UiTM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. It exhibits piezoresistive like behaviour whose resistance change with force/pressure enables its applications as tactile sensor. The o...

Durability of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Joints

Pressure sensitive mounting tapes provide a quick and effective fastening method compared to most mechanical joining techniques. Due to the viscoelastic nature of pressure sensitive adhesives their response to mechanical and climatic stress in terms of durability is different from most structural adhesives. While the feature of compensating differences in thermal expansion of bonded members and...
