Fabric Sensor Array Monitoring Pressure Distribution

To improve the sensing performance of fabric sensor array monitoring pressure distribution, the structure of fabric sensor array was designed and optimized. The fabric sensor array was fabricated by seamlessly laminating multi-layers clothing fabric, and the optimized sensor array can sense both the size and position of the distributed dynamic forces. The performance of the designed fabric sensor array was evaluated. When the force is 5–25 N, the fabric sensor array monitoring pressure distribution has highly sensitive to the applied force. In terms of the material and construction of fabric sensor array, the mesh size of isolating layer determines the sensitivity and response range.
