Overview
ABSTRACT
This article lists the design principles of sensors of physical or mechanical quantities. It solely presents the most commonly used devises such as, for instance sensors of torque, force , weight, pressure, proximity, displacement, temperature and gas. This list is thus not exhaustive. This article finishes by presenting the new generation of sensors and in particular the smart sensors which integrate an internal calculation devise, a signal conditioning system, a communication interface and chemical sensors.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.
