Pressure-sensitive conductive rubber has been investigated as sensitive material due to its good pressure-resistance characteristics. This paper presents a flexible tactile sensor with new structure. The sensing mechanism is based on body piezoresistive effect of conductive rubber filled by carbon black. To improve the sensor’s flexibility, there is a smart angle design in the arrangement of the wires in lower electrodes layer. Besides, the force model of the sensor has been described. The simulation results indicate the validity of 3-D force measurement of the sensor.

Using inverse problem analysis, we designed a soft areal tactile sensor with pressure-sensitive conductive rubber that does not need complex central wiring because we estimate conductivity change, i.e., pressure on the sensor, in the center based on electrical impedance tomography (EIT), i.e., a type of inverse problem analysis. We discuss results demonstrating the sensor's effectiveness.

[abstFig src='/00280003/14.jpg' width=""300"" text='A wearable tactile sensor array for three-axis contact force measurement and slip detection in prosthetic hand grasping' ] Using INASTAMOR pressure-conductive rubber as the sensing material, we developed a flexible tactile sensor array to measure three-axis contact force and slip. The sensor array has 9 (3 × 3) sensing units, each consisting of three layers, i.e., a bottom electrode, conductive rubber chips, a top polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) bump. We detailed the array’s structural design, working principle, and fabrication process. We also characterize the array’s three-axis force measurement performance. The full-scale force measurement ranges and sensitivities in <em>x</em>-, <em>y</em>-, and <em>z</em>-axes are characterized as 5, 5, 20 N and 0.675, 0.677, 0.251 V/N, respectively. The array is mounted on a prosthetic hand for detecting contact force and slip occurrence in grasping. Results showed that the array measures three-axis contact force and detects slippage by using discrete wavelet transformation. The tactile sensor array has potential applications in robot-hand grasping that require simultaneous slip detection and three-axis contact force measurement.

AbstractIn the paper, a fractional-order RLC circuit is presented. The circuit is realized by using a fractional-order capacitor. This is realized by using carbon black dispersed in a polymeric matrix. Simulation results are compared with the experimental data, confirming the suitability of applying this new device in the circuital implementation of fractional-order systems.

In this paper, the effect of strain rate has been considered in the simulation of forming process with a simple form combined into the material law. Quite a few researchers have proposed various hardening laws and strain rate functions to describe the material tensile curve. In this study, the strain rate model Cowper-Symonds is used with anisotropic elasto-plastic material law in the simulation process. The strain path evolution of certain elements, when the strain rate is considered and not, is compared. Two sheet materials, Cold-reduced Carbon Steel (SPCC) JIS G3141 and Aluminum alloy 6112 are used in this study. Two yield criteria, Hill 48 and Hill 90, are applied respectively to improve the accuracy of simulation result. They show different performance when strain rate effect is considered. Strain path of the elements in the fracture risk area of SPCC (JIS G3141) varies much when the strain rate material law is used. There is only little difference of the strain distribution of Al 6112 when the strain rate effect is included and excluded in the material law. The simulation results of material SPCC under two conditions indicate that the strain rate should be considered if the material is the rate-sensitive material, which provides more accurate simulation results.
