Abstract: Strain sensors are attached to a workpiece, and resistance values of the strain sensors are measured with time while cutting the workpiece with a milling cutting machine. A power spectrum in a frequency domain is obtained by Fourier-transforming the resistance values measured with time. A power peak is found in the power spectrum to be outputted as a magnitude of vibration occurring during machining the workpiece. By attaching a strain sensor to a stamper of a plastic working machine, a resistance value of the strain sensor is measured while pressing a workpiece on a die with the stamper. A magnitude of the strain corresponding to the measured resistance value is used to obtain a corresponding plastic working force. By attaching the strain sensor directly to the workpiece, it is possible to monitor the state of the plastic working and/or cutting process of the workpiece with high precision at low cost.

Based on the estimates, tiles that have a longer estimated processing fore tiles that have a shorter estimated processing time, thereby potentially resulting in more efficient OPC processing.

Abstract: Disclosed are a flexible strain sensor and a method for manufacturing the same. A conductive line pattern is directly printed on a flexible substrate by jetting a printing material mixture of metal nanoparticles and CNTs at a high impact speed, and sandwiched between the flexible substrate and a flexible cover. The mixture is excited by aerodynamically controlling pumping timing and jetted onto the flexible substrate in an aerosolized state through a nozzle. The jetted mixture collides with the surface of the flexible substrate to create cracks, and then CNTs penetrate into the cracks and are mechanically locked with the flexible substrate. Subsequently, metal nanoparticles and CNTs are deposited thereon to a predetermined width and height, forming the conductive line pattern. This direct printing can be performed in a low pressure and at room temperature without using solvents or resins, thus no need for additional chemical post-treatment or heat treatment.
