Research abstract
This Army Phase I SBIR program would develop high frequency, interchangeable multi-axis nanomembrane (NM) based pressure sensors and fiber optic based temperature sensors for ballistic systems, using SOI (Silicon on Insulator) NM techniques in combination with our fiber optic nanocomposite sensors. Such tailored-modulus (0.1 MPa to 5 GPa), conformal nanomembrane sensors with interchangeable fiber optic sensor elements and electronic devices can be applied for high frequency pressure and temperature analysis. NanoSonic has demonstrated the feasibility of NM transducer materials in such sensors for the measurement of dynamic normal pressure using the shock tube facility. We will fabricate both NM pressure and fiber optic temperature sensors using optimized materials and matching the current hole profile. NanoSonic and our partners will perform complete analysis of sensor cross-sensitivities and noise sources to allow optimization of signal-to-noise ratio and practical sensor sensitivity. Support wireless electronics will be optimized to acquire, multiplex, store and process raw sensor array data.
