Piezoelectric sensors have made their way into polymer processing and rheometry applications, in particular when small pressure changes with very fast dynamics are to be measured. However, no validation of their use for steady shear rheometry is available in the literature. Here, a rheological slit die was designed and constructed to allow for the direct comparison of pressure data measured with conventional and piezoelectric transducers. The calibration of piezoelectric sensors is presented together with a methodology to correct the data from the inherent signal drift, which is shown to be temperature and pressure independent. Flow curves are measured for polymers showing different levels of viscoelasticity. Piezoelectric slit rheometry is validated and its advantage for the rheology of thermodegradable materials with viscosity below 100 Pa·s is highlighted.

Smart Insole

Gait analysis is a systematic study of human locomotion, which can be utilized in various applications, such as rehabilitation, clinical diagnostics and sports activities. The various limitations such as cost, non-portability, long setup time, post-processing time etc., of the current gait analysis techniques have made them unfeasible for individual use. This led to an increase in research interest in developing smart insoles where wearable sensors can be employed to detect vertical ground reaction forces (vGRF) and other gait variables. Smart insoles are flexible, portable and comfortable for gait analysis, and can monitor plantar pressure frequently through embedded sensors that convert the applied pressure to an electrical signal that can be displayed and analyzed further. Several research teams are still working to improve the insoles’ features such as size, sensitivity of insoles sensors, durability, and the intelligence of insoles to monitor and control subjects’ gait by detecting various complications providing recommendation to enhance walking performance. Even though systematic sensor calibration approaches have been followed by different teams to calibrate insoles’ sensor, expensive calibration devices were used for calibration such as universal testing machines or infrared motion capture cameras equipped in motion analysis labs. This paper provides a systematic design and characterization procedure for three different pressure sensors: force-sensitive resistors (FSRs), ceramic piezoelectric sensors, and flexible piezoelectric sensors that can be used for detecting vGRF using a smart insole. A simple calibration method based on a load cell is presented as an alternative to the expensive calibration techniques. In addition, to evaluate the performance of the different sensors as a component for the smart insole, the acquired vGRF from different insoles were used to compare them. The results showed that the FSR is the most effective sensor among the three sensors for smart insole applications, whereas the piezoelectric sensors can be utilized in detecting the start and end of the gait cycle. This study will be useful for any research group in replicating the design of a customized smart insole for gait analysis.

Monitoring Method

In this paper the investigation of a structural health monitoring method for thin-walled parts of structures is presented. The concept is based on the guided elastic wave propagation phenomena. This type of waves can be used in order to obtain information about structure condition and possibly damaged areas. Guided elastic waves can travel in the medium with relatively low attenuation, therefore they enable monitoring of extensive parts of structures. In this way it is possible to detect small defects in their early stage of growth. It is essential because undetected damage can endanger integrity of a structure. In reported investigation piezoelectric transducer was used to excite guided waves in chosen specimens. Dispersion of guided waves results in changes of velocity with the wave frequency, therefore a narrowband signal was used. Measurement of the wave field was realized using laser scanning vibrometer that registered the velocity responses at points belonging to a defined mesh. An artificial discontinuity was introduced to the specimen. The goals of the investigation was to detect it and find optimal sensor placement for this task. Determination of the optimal placement of sensors is a very challenging mission. In conducted investigation laser vibrometer was used to facilitate the task. The chosen mesh of measuring points was the basis for the investigation. The purpose was to consider various configuration of piezoelectric sensors. Instead of using vast amount of piezoelectric sensors the earlier mentioned laser vibrometer was used to gather the necessary data from wave propagation. The signals gather by this non-contact method for the considered network were input to the damage detection algorithm. Damage detection algorithm was based on a procedure that seeks in the signals the damage-reflected waves. Knowing the wave velocity in considered material the damage position can be estimated.
