Title
Proof Of Concept Novel Configurable Chipless Rfid Strain Sensor
Abstract
This paper contains two main areas of research: First, this work outlines a novel, highly sensitive strain sensor design that should support various levels of deformation, depending on the substrate type used. Physical implementations in this work have focused on proving its large deformation capabilities, and simulations have been used to assess its more general electromagnetic response. The other part of this paper focusses on exploring other effects that will impact the sensing of strain of resolutions below 10 mu epsilon, which is a capability achieved by other aerospace-grade strain sensor technologies. These effects are limited to mechanical swelling and sensor orientation in the azimuth and elevation planes, as these appear to be unexplored and highly relevant issues to the topic of chipless RFID-based strain sensing. From this exploration, it is apparent that the effects of mechanical swelling and sensor orientation (amongst others) will need to be addressed in any real-life implementation of the sensor, requiring a strain resolution below 10 mu epsilon.
