Abstract:This study presents a simple pill-shaped pressure sensor fabricated by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor was embedded inside the structure during the 3D printing process. The dimension of the sensor was simulated by the finite element method to explore the customizability of the pressure sensor. The proposed pill-shaped pressure sensor showed great linearity and achieved high sensitivity with a total Bragg-shifted wavelength of 1.44 nm in the pressure range between… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
