Applied pressure through fluid to measure strain

AI Thread Summary
Applying pressure through fluid on curved soft tissue, like silicone, can be used to measure strain with appropriate sensors. Pressure sensors placed on the tissue would initially read the same pressure, but variations in pressure could indicate changes in strain across the surface. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding how pressure distribution correlates with strain measurement. Further research into sensor types and configurations is recommended for accurate readings. Overall, the interaction between fluid pressure and soft tissue strain is a viable area for exploration.

Hello,

I would like to ask if its possible to apply pressure through fluid on a curved soft tissue such as silicon to measure the strain by using sensors (and what kind) such as shows in the attached image?
If those were pressure sensors would they all show the same pressure or would the change of pressure could create a picture of the strain.

Additional details:
Stage 1 is before applying pressure
Stage 2 is after applying pressure
The sensors take readings before and after stage 1 & 2

Any more direction to research and read would be appreciated as well

Thanks!

If I have understood your diagram correctly.. all the sensors would read the same pressure.
 
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds?

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
