Design of a Simulation Model of a Temperature Sensor under Critical Temperature and Sinusoidal Vibrations

Abstract

Vibration measurement is among the most popular and cost-effective methods for diagnostics of the overall condition of equipment and is of undeniable importance in modern technology. Thanks to this process, manufacturers and consumers can be sure of the reliability and quality of technical systems, as well as prevent possible malfunctioning and failures. Vibration measurements in various fields confirm their versatility and importance in modern technical progress. The measurement of the effects of critical temperatures on a temperature sensor is aimed at determination of possible changes in the accuracy and reliability of the sensor. This will improve the quality of temperature measurement, eliminate inaccuracies and errors in operation of equipment, and increase the efficiency of the equipment under various operating conditions. The research method in this paper is a simulation model of the sensor, which is used to test for vibration and exposure to critical temperatures. Ansys and SolidWorks Simulation software are used to create the model to avoid costly and time-consuming test cycles. The results of the simulation modeling are used to construct diagrams of mechanical stress distribution under sinusoidal vibration and diagrams of temperature distribution under critical temperatures.
