Investigations on metrological characterization of elliptical shaped force transducers for precision force measurement

On development of a ring type mechanical force transducer: Shape optimization, modification and characterization with different optimization codes

“…Extended ring designs however shows that the maximum levels can be shifted away from this position. In an elliptical shaped ring force transducer, maximum stress levels were found concentrated at the inner and outer surface at 90° to the vertical axes [23,24]. Stress strain distribution pattern however decreased in the opposite direction compared to the circular ring whereby maximum levels decreased upwards along the ring periphery from the horizontal axes towards the point of load application.…”
