This article addresses the method of sensing mechanical quantities, in particular force and pressure, without the electrical connection of the sensing element and the electronics. The information about the mechanical quantity is transmitted only by evaluating the changes in the electromagnetic field created around the sensor. The sensor is designed on the basis of a flexible micro-electro-mechanical element (MEMS), the resonance of which carries the information about the measured quantity.
This manuscript deals with optimizing the numerical method called the method of moments (MoM). This method is widely utilized for field computation of 3D structures. MoM is exploited in hydraulics as well as in the electromagnetic field theory. Emphasis is put on minimizing calculations necessary for constructing a system of linear equations exploiting symmetry or similarity of elements of geometric structure. The manuscript also contains a comparison of computing times using standard MoM and a proposed modified MoM keeping the same structure of the solved construction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
