Quantitative stress measurement of elastic deformation using mechanoluminescent sensor: An intensity ratio model

Abstract

The mechanoluminescent (ML) sensor is a newly developed non-invasive technique for stress/strain measurement. However, its application has been mostly restricted to qualitative measurement due to the lack of a well-defined relationship between ML intensity and stress. To achieve accurate stress measurement, an intensity ratio model was proposed in this study to establish a quantitative relationship between the stress condition and its ML intensity in elastic deformation. To verify the proposed model, experiments were carried out on a ML measurement system using resin samples mixed with the sensor material SrAlO:Eu, Dy. The ML intensity ratio was found to be dependent on the applied stress and strain rate, and the relationship acquired from the experimental results agreed well with the proposed model. The current study provided a physical explanation for the relationship between ML intensity and its stress condition. The proposed model was applicable in various SrAlO:Eu, Dy-based ML measurement in elastic deformation, and could provide a useful reference for quantitative stress measurement using the ML sensor in general.

Determinant Factors’ Impact on Managerial Performance through Management Accounting Systems in Indonesia

“…Thus, the results of hypothesis testing indicate that the higher the decentralization, the more likely companies are to implement a management accounting system. This finding supports the contingency theory, which states that decentralization is related to the characteristics of management control systems (Chenhall, 2003). Decentralization also gives managers more responsibility and control in their activities and requires greater information as well (Waterhouse & Tjessen, 1978).…”

Mechanoluminescence and photoluminescence properties of Eu3+‐activated SrGa2O4 phosphors

“…The development of a charged surface on the phosphor during fracture results in an increase in recombination luminescence. [28,29]. An electric field of 10 7 -10 8 Vm À1 may be produced between oppositely charged surfaces.…”

“…When the load strikes the phosphor, a positive charge is built on one of the newly created surfaces, and a negative charge develops on the other cracked surface of the same phosphor. These charged particles produced an electric field that emitted electrons from the negatively charged surface and had an effect on the positively charged surface [29]. Therefore, luminous centres will be able to accommodate more electrons that recombine with holes already existing in the recombination centre.…”

“…Therefore, ML emission can linearly increase with falling height and impact velocity [32][33][34]. The ML studies indicate that the synthesized phosphors may have applications in stress detectors and sensors [27,[29][30][31].…”

Visible to Near-Infrared Mechanoluminescence from Pr-Doped LiTaO3 for Stress-Sensing Applications

“…They found that SAOED has better ML stress-sensing properties than SAOE in terms of higher sensitivity and without saturation of ML intensity at applied forces . Similarly, Tao Cai et al proposed a quantitative model that gives the relation between the stress condition and its ML intensity . Newly discovered ML properties of rare earth ion-doped piezoelectric LiTaO 3 host materials attract engineers’ attention toward employing LiTaO 3 for ratiometric stress-sensing applications in several engineering domains. , However, the limited literature and less comprehensive ML studies of doped LiTaO 3 materials create barriers to its commercialization.…”
