The finite element method was used to simulate strain transfer from bone to a calcium phosphate ceramic (CPC) coated strain gauge. The model was constructed using gross morphometric and histological measurements obtained from previous experimental studies. Material properties were assigned based on experiments and information from the literature. Boundary conditions simulated experimental canti...

This paper presents a new model of equivalent modulus derived from the Repeated Load CBR (RL-CBR) test without strain gauge. This model is an updated version of Araya et al. model (2011), the update consists of using the vertical strain as weighting factor instead of vertical displacement in the mean vertical and horizontal stresses calculation. The accuracy of equivalent modulus was improved b...

A flexible strain gauge is an essential component in advanced human-machine interfacing, especially when it comes to many important mobile and biomedical appliances that require the detection of finger touches. In this paper, we report one such strain gauge made from a strip of nanoparticle monolayer onto a flexible substrate. This proposed gauge operates on the observation that there is a line...

Realization of advanced bio-interactive electronic devices requires mechanically compliant sensors with the ability to detect extremely large strain. Here, we design a new multifunctional carbon nanotube (CNT) based capacitive strain sensors which can detect strains up to 300% with excellent durability even after thousands of cycles. The CNT-based strain gauge devices exhibit deterministic and ...

device (LAD) was developed as option to the universal testing machine (UTM), using strain gauge analysis. The aim of this study was to develop a load-application device (LAD) and compare the LAD with the UTM apparatus under axial and non-axial loads. An external hexagonal implant was inserted into a polyurethane block and one EsthetiCone abutment was connected to the implant. A plastic prosthet...

Torque measurement is paramount in engine and transmission testing, turbine testing, pump testing and testing of gear trains and power measurement within propulsion systems. Monitoring torque can be critical to the performance of axles, drive trains, gear drives, and electric and hydraulic motors. Other in-plant applications include gas and steam turbines. Really, torque is an important factor ...
