New composite polymer sensor for automotive weighing
Last modified: 2021-11-06
Abstract
The work presented in this paper describes a new concept of sensor for
weighing-in-motion of vehicles. This sensor has small dimensions and it can be used for weighing the vehicles. The sensor has four strain gauges, two of them are external and two are embedded into polymer. It’s well known that the influence of temperature can affect the measurement process and also can change the output signal of strain gauges. The hysteresis and linearity graphics of strain gauges are compared in order to establish which one has higher values. The measurements lead to interesting results which are presented in this paper.
