Abstract
In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a sensing system includes a sensor mat configured to conform to a component having a central axis, a first sensor cluster disposed on or in the sensor mat configured to sense one or more conditions at a first location on the component, and a second sensor cluster disposed on or in the sensor mat configured to sense one or more conditions at a second location circumferentially spaced to the first location. In embodiments, the second location can be diametrically opposed to the first location.
Claims20
A sensor mat, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors disposed therein or thereon at predetermined locations configured to sense one or more forces acting on a component to which the sensor mat is configured to attach, wherein the predetermined locations are based on a geometry of the component to which the sensor mat is configured to attach.
A system comprising:
- a load bearing component;
- a sensor array conformally attached to the component, the sensor array including;
- a plurality of sensors disposed within a substrate at predetermined locations configured to sense one or more forces placed upon the component.
A method for installing a sensing system, comprising:
- applying a prearranged sensor array conformally around a load bearing component such that two sensor clusters of the sensor array are circumferentially spaced from one another about a central axis of the component.
