    摘要: The present invention relates to a sensing system that, in a preferred embodiment, can be readily integrated into load-lifting structures (such as wings and landing gears) to provide real-time DPHM and obviate/mitigate catastrophic problems. Broadly, the present sensing system combines at least one shim portion with at least one nanogenerator such as a TENG or a PENG. A major advantage of the present sensing system is that it combines in a single structure the following functions: (a) gap management in the component in which the sensing system is installed, (b) collection/storage of measured data for the component in which the sensing system is installed, (c) harvesting/storing energy from operation environment of the component in which the sensing system is installed (e.g., DPHM data when the present sensing system is used for assessment of an aircraft's structural conditions), and (d) wireless transmission of measured data for the component in which the sensing system is installed to a user interface.

    摘要: A displacement sensor that includes: a sensor unit including a base member having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite the first main surface, and a sensor sheet on the first main surface of the base member, the sensor sheet configured to measure a displacement amount of the base member; and a first cover sheet detachably attached to the sensor sheet on a side thereof opposite to the base member, wherein an elastic modulus of the first cover sheet is larger than an elastic modulus of the base member.

    摘要: Direct monitoring of wear, strain and structural integrity allows for monitoring of potentially damaging wear and strain from any orientation or mode and over long stretches of objects or materials Conductive filament is embedded within the wall, or sub-surface of an object or material. The filament may be aligned parallel, perpendicular, or at an appropriate angle to the axis of the object or material to detect wear and loss of integrity respectively.
