Abstract
The design and performance of a strain gauge sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated. A finite element model of the sensor was developed using COMSOL multiphysics. The results were compared to a common metal thin film and silicon strain gauges. The obtained stress response of the CNT based sensor was found to be about 3.6 times higher than that of the standard metal thin film strain gauge sensor.
