A 3d Printing Flexure Pressure Sensor for Robot Impact Safety Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a flexure pressure sensor fabricated by means of 3D printing. This sensor combined with a biosimulant artifact from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used to measure the severity of injuries caused in the case of a robot impact with a human. The stiffness matrix is derived for the structure by means of screw theory. A Finite Element (FE) model is constructed to verify the analytical model and obtain the allowable pressure with regard to the yield stress.

Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) allows 3D-printing of arbitrarily shaped structures, directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data. SFF has traditionally focused on printing passive mechanical parts. Advances in this technology and developments in materials science make it feasible to begin the development of a single, compact, robotic SFF system – including a small set of materials which can...
متن کاملProof of Concept of Integrated Load Measurement in 3D Printed Structures
Currently, research on structural health monitoring systems is focused on direct integration of the system into a component or structure. The latter results in a so-called smart structure. One example of a smart structure is a component with integrated strain sensing for continuous load monitoring. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, now also enables such integration of functions inside com...
