Deformable Sensor

Abstract

To provide an improved deformable sensor.SOLUTION: A deformable sensor suitable for mounting to a curved surface includes: an elastic layer having at least 0.01 Mpa Young's modulus and at least 10% first yield strain; a first stretchable electrode mounted to the elastic layer; and a stretchable conductive wire. The first stretchable electrode can extend at least 5% without rupture, and the stretchable conductive wire can extend at least 5% without rupture. A deformable sensor device further has an electronic device electrically coupled to the first stretchable electrode via the stretchable conductive wire. The electronic device is composed so as to obtain a first signal from the first stretchable electrode. The deformable sensor device further has analysis means composed so as to determine a calibration value on the basis of the obtained first signal and an assembly compensation coefficient. The assembly compensation coefficient is based on a material compensation coefficient, and at least one measurement signal of the deformable sensor in its installation position when there are no measurement objects affecting the deformable sensor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1a
