METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SENSING DEFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302156 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SENSING DEFORMATION

The patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and systems for sensing deformation in a surface using a device with a support unit consisting of a first frame and a second frame mechanically coupled to the surface. A pin joint amplifies relative movement between the frames, which is sensed by a sensor.

  • The device includes a support unit with a first frame and a second frame.
  • A pin joint mechanically couples the frames to amplify relative movement.
  • A sensor detects the amplified relative movement between the frames.

Potential Applications: - Structural health monitoring - Material testing - Robotics

Problems Solved: - Accurately measuring surface deformation - Monitoring structural integrity - Enhancing safety in various applications

Benefits: - Early detection of potential issues - Improved maintenance planning - Enhanced safety measures

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Deformation Sensing Technology for Structural Monitoring" This technology can be used in industries such as construction, aerospace, and automotive for structural health monitoring, quality control, and safety enhancement.

Questions about Deformation Sensing Technology: 1. How does this technology improve safety in structural applications?

Industries such as construction, aerospace, and automotive can benefit from this technology for structural health monitoring and safety enhancement.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, apparatuses and systems for a sensing deformation in a surface are disclosed herein. an example device may include a support unit including a first frame and a second frame. a first end of the first frame and a first end of the second frame are mechanically coupled to the surface. the sensing device includes a pin joint that mechanically couples the first frame to the second frame, such that a first relative movement between the first end of the first frame and the first end of the second frame is amplified to a second relative movement between a second end of the first frame and a second end of the second frame. the sensing device includes a sensor that senses the second relative movement between the second end of the first frame and the second end of the second frame.
