Abstract

The article focuses on the development of a flexible strain sensor with a hat-shaped structure designed for real-time monitoring of three-dimensional (3D) deformation in industrial and agricultural products. Fabricated via a molding technique using a silicone elastomer and multilayer graphene composite, the sensor employs a resistance change detection algorithm and linear calibration equations to analyze deformation data accurately. Demonstrated through monitoring the growth deformation of a kumquat fruit, the sensor exhibited a high gauge factor of 1960 and reliable performance over multiple strain cycles. This approach addresses limitations of existing visual 3D detection methods and shows potential for precise in situ deformation measurement of flexible objects in various applications.
