▼ In Micro-rolling process, metal sheet is imprinted with micron level textures by feeding into the gap between one smooth roll and one textured roll. To enhance the rollability of thin metal sheet and dimensional accuracy, high density current is sent through workpiece to soften the material by increasing temperature. This manufacturing process is called by Electrically-Assisted Micro-rolling (EAμR). EAμR, as a high efficiency and environment protection manufacturing process, can be used for production of key components in Micro-electromechanical Systems and bio-engineering. To control the quality of product, it is essential to monitor the pressure distribution in workpiece-roll interface during micro-rolling process. Comparing with process monitoring in conventional rolling process, sensing method in micro-rolling process monitoring not only demands to maintain surface integrity of roll surface, but also is limited by narrow space for sensors installation. Thus, a new sensing method based on embedded capacitance sensor array has been developed and prototyped for real-time monitoring in Electrically-Assisted Micro-rolling process. In the optimal structural design of embedded sensor, Finite element modeling is investigated to study the influence of sensor parameters and electrical current on sensor. To improve the spatial resolution of embedded sensor array mounted in a limited space, a new pressure reconstruction algorithm is presented to retrieve continuous spatial distribution of rolling pressure from a limited number of measured points. In this context, three research tasks has been identified and examined during the course of this thesis: 1) Design of a new embedded sensing method and its modeling The new sensing method monitors micro-rolling process by an embedded capacitance sensor array integrated into smooth roll of micro-rolling mill. The new embedded sensor using limited sensor installation space provides a new method to measure contact pressure between roller and workpiece without damaging the roller surface. It consists of a cylindrical plastic rod as the physical carrier of sensor array, a group of metal foils attached on cylindrical surface as receiving layer of capacitance array, and a thin plastic film as dielectric material of capacitance. The excitation layer of capacitance sensor is attached on inner surface of mounting hole in smooth roll. When the sensing rod is mounted into mounting hole, a series of capacitance is formed along axial direction of roll. In the design of mechatronics system, multi-physics modeling, based on finite element method, is developed not only to study the relationship between sensor parameters and the sensitivity of sensor, but to understand the thermal and electro-magnetic effect of electrical current passing through workpiece quantitatively as well. 2) Development of prototyping micro-rolling sensing system Micro-rolling sensing system is developed for real-time monitoring of Electrical-Assisted Micro-Rolling process.

▼ Heart failure is one of the most prevalent heath issues in todays world. Regardless, if the condition is not recognized early and allowed to progress to its end stages, there are few treatment options available. The gold standard treatment and only permanent treatment of end-stage heart failure is heart transplantation. However, transplantation has proven to be an unsustainable model, as donor organ shortage is a prevalent issue. Ventricular assist devices (VAD) were introduced in the early 2000s and were quick to supplement the shortage of available donor organs. Over 10 years these mechanical circulatory support systems became a popular method to bridging the patients treatment until transplantation is possible. While incremental progress on the performance of the devices have been made, obvious shortcomings are present in todays VADs. One shortcoming of current generation VADs is their failure to properly respond to changes in the perfusion demand of the patient, as they are operated in a constant speed mode. The resulting adverse effects, under- and overpumping of the ventricle, have a significant impact on patient mortality. Unfortunately, the evident solution to this problem, implementation of control algorithms, is denied due to the lack of long-term stable and safe sensors. In this work, we propose an integration approach for commercial pressure sensors in VADs. The approach is based around a thin, polymeric membrane serving as the sensing interface. It is located in the inflow cannula of the VAD and implemented as an integral part of a conformal coating, covering the entirety of the cannula. Hence, the interface does not perturb the blood flow or increase the thrombogenicity of the device. The coating material is Parylene-C, a polymer known mainly as a protective coating for electronics has a unique deposition route and outstanding mechanical stability. Its biocompatibility has been proven in multiple clinical applications and novel developments make it a promising material regarding future functionalization. The sensing interface is produced in a newly developed fabrication process based on a sacrificial material release. The sacrificial material is v shaped to conformally complement the inside surface of the inflow cannula through a shaping body. A 10μm thick Parylene-C film is deposited and the sacrificial material is dissolved, forming the media separating membrane sensing interface. Membranes fabricated in such a manner with a diameter of 1.5mm deviated a maximum of 12μm from an ideally replicated cannula surface. A demonstrator pressure sensor assembly with the Parylene-C media separating membrane was fabricated and evaluated on a water based measurement bench. The sensing interface was not found to influence the measurement performance of the sensor in a significant manner and exhibited a stable performance over the duration of several weeks. A known shortcoming of Parylene-C is its lacking long-term adhesion to metals, especially in applications with… Advisors/Committee Members: Hierold, Christofer, Meboldt, Mirko.

▼ An average nuclear power plant in the United States contains between 1,000 and 2,000 pressure transmitters. The use of capacitance cell nuclear pressure transmitters in these high temperature environments degrades integrated sensing electronics and limits the transmitter’s usable life. An all-optical pressure sensor would remove the transducer interface and communication electronics from the sensing environment— extending the sensor’s life and reducing sensor maintenance and lifecycle costs. This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of a fiber Bragg grating optical pressure transducer. The primary transduction mechanism of this design relates pressure in a fluid filled pipe to sensing diaphragm strain using optical diaphragm strain measurements. Similar to capacitance cell pressure transmitter designs, the proposed pressure transducer is susceptible to measurement bias induced by temperature perturbations. To minimize measurement bias, a fiber Bragg grating temperature compensation sensor is used to calculate a temperature independent diaphragm strain measurement. The transducer design was fabricated and thermal experiments were conducted while the sensing diaphragm was mechanically unconstrained in a thermal chamber. During these experiments, the sensing diaphragm’s temperature corrected strain was calculated while the ambient temperature was perturbed. An experimentally developed coefficient of thermal expansion was found to improve the accuracy of strain temperature compensation. Testing also showed that the time dependence of strain compensation caused the fiber Bragg grating sensing diaphragm to ultimately exhibit 4x the maximum temperature error expected from a capacitance cell pressure transmitter in the same environment. The assembled pressure transducer was experimentally evaluated using a hydraulic test system. The transducer’s sensitivity between 0 and 1,200 psig was experimentally determined to be 1.64 psi/με. A multi-step pressure experiment was conducted to confirm the transducer’s measurement repeatability. During this test, the maximum difference between pressure measurements made using the optical transducer and reference instrumentation was 44.3 psi. The mean measurement difference for this test was 19.0 psi. A capacitance cell pressure transmitter in similar conditions is expected to have an overall measurement accuracy of ± 2.5 psi. The largest source of measurement error from the fiber Bragg grating pressure transducer is likely to be the time dependent, transient response of diaphragm strain temperature compensation measurements. Future development of the pressure transducer concept should focus on reducing temperature compensation errors. Given this improvement, the proposed fiber Bragg grating pressure transducer has significant potential for nuclear power plant applications.

Примена сензора је у наглом порасту у свим областима живота и рада. Све је већи број физичких, али и других (хемијских, биолошких) величина које је потребно мерити, уз растуће захтеве у погледу функционалности и мерних перформанси уређаја и уз истовремено смањење димензија, цене и потрошње енергије. Појавом микроелектромеханичких технологија и система (МЕМС), почело је ново раздобље у развоју сензора, које и данас траје. Сензори које је тим технологијама могуће реализовати по карактеристикама су упоредиви или бољи од конвенционалних, а малих су димензија и погодни за јефтину масовну производњу. Конвергенцијом сензорских, рачунарских и комуникационих технологија настали су интелигентни инструменти и дистрибуирани сензорски системи, чиме се достиже нови ниво функционалности и перформанси. Научна истраживања у области сензора, мерних метода и инструмената су због тога веома актуелна и имају све израженији мултидисциплинарни карактер. Циљ истраживања обухваћених овом дисертацијом је унапређење функционалности и перформанси интелигентних индустријских мерних инструмената заснованих на постојећим и новим МЕМС сензорима, посебно на онима који се развијају и производе у Центру за микроелектронске технологије Института за Хемију, технологију и металургију. Пошто једино свеобухватни приступ, од теоријских истраживања, преко развоја сензора и обраде сигнала до готовог мерног инструмента, може да пружи квалитетан резултат употребљив у пракси, ова дисертација је конципирана тако да садржи све те елементе. У дисертацији је дат преглед МЕМС технологија и сензора, где је тежиште на МЕМС сензорима механичких величина, а нарочито на пиезоотпорним сензорима притиска. Као допринос значајан за ту област, приказани су резултати експерименталног истраживања електричних карактеристика МЕМС структура израђених на флексибилним супстратима, од посебног интереса за примене МЕМС сензора у медицинским имплантима, протезама, одећи, као и у роботици. Од нових МЕМС сензора који се истражују у Центру и другим научним установама у свету, као посебно значајни се издвајају сензори хемијских и биолошких величина, чији се принцип рада заснива на адсорпцији честица.

▼ In order to facilitate the design of quartz resonators, the overall goal of the current work was to develop an accurate three-dimensional finite element model for the anisotropic frequency response of quartz. The model was based on the linear incremental equations for superimposed small vibrations onto nonlinear thermoelastic stressed media. The frequency response of the model was benchmarked to experimental data from quartz pressure sensors with temperature ranging from 50 °C to 200 °C and pressure from 14 psi to 20,000 psi. This direct finite element approach for frequency response at such high pressure had not been previously examined in literature. The normalized frequency response to the change in external pressure from 14 psi to 20,000 psi matched very well with experimental data for lower temperatures, having a maximum deviation of only 7.5% at 20,000 psi when assuming constant 50 °C temperature. However, the same deviation grew to 25.7% assuming a higher 200 °C constant temperature. Similarly, the temperature-frequency response at constant pressure from 50 °C to 200 °C matched the experimental trend well for lower pressures, but this agreement deteriorated as pressure increased. The nature of the observed frequency deviations suggests that changes in the third-order elastic constants with temperature, a quartz material definition that is not currently available in literature, could play a significant role in accurately modeling the frequency response at such conditions, and that the lack of such properties is the primary source of the error in both temperature and pressure response. This hypothesis was tested by using a novel method of giving the third-order elastic constants linear temperature dependence based on a single scalar parameter, for which a specific value was empirically derived for the AT-Cut quartz pressure sensor studied. Specifically, modeling a scalar decrease in magnitude of about 0.0775% per °C in the third-order elastic coefficients was shown to decrease the error of the simulation at the highest temperature and pressure from 25.7% to 4.0%, and this improvement was mirrored throughout the range of temperatures and pressures tested. Furthermore, knowing the expected benefit of implementing the third-order elastic coefficients as functions of temperature should aid future researchers in deciding if defining their full anisotropic temperature derivatives is practical, and relevant possibilities for such a study are given.

▼ There is a very high and increasing frequency of back pain in modern society with an estimate annual cost of $100 billion dollars just in the United States. The precise etiology of low back pain lacks a general consensus. However, the facet joints have been shown to be a significant source of spinal pain, and specifically low back pain. Despite being a significant source of pain, very little accurate data is available on the loads within the facet joints. ❧ This study’s primary goal was to provide improved data, thus facilitating a better understanding of lumbar spine intra-articular facet loads during movement. This was ultimately accomplished by the development, validation and implementation of a new method for direct measurement of intra-articular load. It was initially thought that a better understanding of lumbar spine intra-articular facet loads during movement could be accomplished with the application of existing technology. The preliminary phases of this study involved evaluating a large volume of literature related to previously published methods and techniques purporting to quantify intra-articular load, meeting and discussing design requirements with various manufacturers of potential technology, and finally bench top testing and evaluating the more plausible technologies. Despite a substantial volume of published literature utilizing many of these technologies for this task and similar measurements in other articular joints (both human and non-human), none of the existing technologies were found to have the necessary geometry and/or were capable of taking accurate measurements when curved to physiologically prevalent radii. These deficiencies in the existing technologies necessitated the development of an appropriate method to accurately measure intra-articular pressures. ❧ A new sensor array intended to accurately and directly measure both the spatial and temporal distributions of pressures within a highly curved intra-articular joint was developed and tested. To evaluate performance of the new sensor array for application within intra-articular joints generally, and specifically to fit within the relatively restrictive space of the lumbar spine facet joint, geometric constraints of length, width, thickness and sensor spatial resolution were evaluated. Additionally, the effects of sensor array curvature, frequency response, linearity, drift, hysteresis, repeatability, and total system cost were assessed. ❧ The new sensor array was approximately 0.6mm in thickness, scalable to below the nominal 12 mm wide by 15 mm high lumbar spine facet joint size, offered no inherent limitations on the number or spacing of the sensors with less than 1.7% cross talk with the sensors positioned immediately adjacent to one another. No difference was observed in sensor performance down to a radius of curvature of 7 mm and a 0.66±0.97% change in sensor sensitivity was observed at a radius of 5.5 mm. The sensor array had less than 0.07 dB signal loss up to a loading frequency of 5.5 Hz, linearity was 0.58±0.13% full scale… Advisors/Committee Members: Hedman, ThomasKhoo, Michael C.K.

▼ We have developed zinc oxide thin film transistors with a unique device architecture that exhibit robust and high-performance pressure sensing while maintaining transparency for next generation pressure-sensitive touchscreen displays. We systematically studied and optimized the material growth and device fabrication for improved device performance. We then fabricated top and bottom gate TFTs using both top and bottom contact geometries and identified the optimal device architecture to attain high pressure sensitivity while maintaining excellent transistor performance. Simultaneous operation of a single device as a switch and a pressure sensor allows simple integration of sensors into arrays without the addition of external switching elements. The all-solid-state sensors are capable of measuring steady-state pressure and transient pressure variations. The sensing mechanism stems from the piezoelectric characteristics of RF sputtered ZnO. When zinc oxide is used as the channel material in thin film transistors, its piezoelectric property results in a shift of the transistor threshold voltage upon pressure application. This shift causes a modulation of the drain current flowing through the transistor at a steady bias. A linear dependence of the current change with the applied pressure is observed. Our first-generation TFTs together with a readout circuit built on a breadboard allow discrete pressure measurements from a single sensor at a frequency of 2 kHz. We demonstrated the operation of a transparent 8x8 pressure sensor array fabricated on glass, and the integrated system of pressure sensors and actuators for the recording and reproduction of touch. We further advanced our pressure sensors by studying the effects of sputtering gas, substrate temperature, and seeding layer on the ZnO film properties. The second-generation devices achieved an on-off ratio of 10⁵ and allowed us to successfully demonstrate a larger, 16x16 array. We designed a complete system for real-time pressure signal acquisition and display, including read-out electronics, mechanical integration, electrical connections, and display software for signal visualization. We measured the latency of the pressure sensors to be less than 1 ms and the recovery time to be less than 20 ms. The new pressure-sensing technology enables the development of force-sensitive touchscreens that will make possible new mobile applications with a richer user-machine interface.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the prototype of an intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor as a major step towards building a device that can be permanently implanted during cataract surgery. The implantation will proceed through an incision of 2-3 mm using an injector, during which the complete device must be folded into a cross-section of 2 mm × 1 mm. The device uses radio frequency (RF) for wireless power and data transfer. First, a novel device design is introduced. Materials are chosen systematically for the device fabrication. Two fabrication methods, metal-on-elastomer and solder-filled microchannel, are tested for the antenna fabrication and device integration. Results indicate that an antenna resistance below 5 Ω can be achieved using the solder-filled microchannel method. A device fabrication and integration process based on that method is introduced. A device prototype including an antenna, an RF chip and a pressure sensor is presented. It is assembled on a printed circuit board (PCB) with several circuit components used for testing and calibration. The antenna is fabricated and integrated with the circuit using a fabrication method employing solder-filled microchannels embedded in an elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS). The presented method can be used for biocompatible packaging of microsystems and sensors. The prototype is tested for antenna functionality through power and data transfer. The monitoring device is powered at 2.716 GHz from a distance of 1-2 cm. Transferred power is greater than the threshold power required for chip operation. Exposure to RF power is kept below the maximum permissible exposure limit. The backscattered signal is observed in each chip mode to confirm the wireless sensing capability. Structural flexibility of the PDMS-metal-PDMS stack is studied using a mockup device. The effect of applied stress on antenna resistance is monitored in order to evaluate its durability during the implantation process. The flexible antenna can withstand a stress of 33.4 kPa without any electrical disconnection. It did not show a significant increase in electrical resistance after 50 bending cycles. The prototype has undergone electrical tests for the effect of PDMS coating on pressure sensor and wireless sensing performance. An acceptable increase in sensor capacitance and pressure sensitivity is observed after PDMS coating. Wireless pressure measurement tests showed device operation with a pressure sensitivity of 16.66 Hz/mm-Hg (0.125 Hz/Pa). Three topics for future work are proposed for converting the prototype into a complete device. First, additional tests for evaluating device performance in an eye-like environment are proposed. They provide a complete characterization of the RF power and data transfer inside the eye. Second, requirements for the next generation of RF chip are stated. Device size will be shrunk by the elimination of surface mount technology (SMT) components and PCB. Third, building a multi-sensor platform based on the prototype is proposed. Salinity and pH sensors can be added to… Advisors/Committee Members: Bohringer, Karl F (advisor).

U disertaciji je prikazano teorijsko i praktično istraživanje koje se odnosi na projektovanje, fabrikaciju i karakterizaciju heterogeno integrisanih induktivnih senzora za mjerenje sile, pritiska i pomjeraja. Cilj istraživanja doktorske disertacije je kombinovanje različitih tehnologija izrade i materijala, kako bi se projektovali senzori koji će biti konkurentni aktuelnim rešenjima, i koji bi se mogli koristiti za konkretne primjene. U okviru istraživanja, heterogenom integracijom su kombinovane prednosti tehnologije štampanih ploča (Printed Circuit Board - PCB), fleksibilne tehnologije i tehnologije niskotemperaturne zajedno-pečene keramike (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics – LTCC). Razvijena su tri prototipa senzora za mjerenje sile, pritiska i pomjeraja korišćenjem struktura sa induktorom i feritom u njegovoj blizini. Mjerenje realizovanih prototipova senzora vrši se bežično pomoću spregnutog antenskog namotaja. Na osnovu početnih rezultata ispitivanja, senzori su modifikovani u cilju poboljšanja i optimizovanja performansi. Projektovani senzori omogućavaju bežično mjerenje, jeftini su, kompaktni i jednostavni. Na osnovu teorijske analize, simulacija, eksperimetnalnih mjerenja, ustanovljena je ispravnost rada i primjenljivost realizovanih senzora.

In doctoral thesis theoretical and practical investigation on design, fabrication and characterisation of heterogenous integrated inductive sensors for measuring force, pressure and displacement are shown. The aim of the thesis is to investige the usage of different technologies and materials in order to design sensors which will be competitive to actual solutions and usable for specific aplications. Using heterogenous integraton, advantages of Printed Circuit Board technology (PCB), flexible and Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) technologies are used. Three sensor prototypes for measuring force, pressure and displacement are developed using inductor and ferrite in its near proximity. Measurements of the realised sensor prototypes are wirelessly done using an external surrounding coil as an antenna. Based on the initial measuring results, sensors are redesigned in order to improve and optimize their performance. Projected sensors are low-cost, compact, simple, and enable wireless measurement. The proper operation and applicability of realized sensors are confirmed using theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental testing with presented results.

▼ The development and evolution of physiological sensors, from wearable to implantable, has enabled long term continuous physiological monitoring, making possible for the out-of-clinic treatment and management of many chronic illnesses, mental health issues and post-surgery recovery. This technology advance is gradually changing the definition of health care and the way it is delivered, from clinic/emergency room to patient’s own environment. In this dissertation, three general types of sensors have been proposed for physiological monitoring of blood pressure, oxygen content and electrolyte ion concentration level in human body, respectively. The study proved the device concepts and shows promising results with the prototype sensors for possibilities of various biomedical applications. In the pressure sensor development, we have designed, fabricated and characterized a biocompatible, flexible pressure sensor using Au thin film patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane for bio-implant application. Strain induced changes in Au film resistance was used to perform quantitative measurement of absolute pressure. The sensor was extensively modeled through COMSOL-based finite element simulations for design and performance predication. Three prototype sensors fabricated with different membrane thickness of 50, 100 and 200 μm were studied. Very high constant sensitivities of 0.1 /Kpa, 0.056 /Kpa and 0.012 /Kpa, respectively, were observed over their effective measurement ranges. The high sensitivities are attributed to the formation of microcracks in Au film resistor when the sensors are subjected to pressure. Interestingly, the formation of microcracks seemed to be quite reversible within certain pressure range. In addition, the correlation of sensitivity and effective sensing range with membrane thickness was studied for the three sensors. It was found that the device sensitivity increased with the decrease in membrane thickness but at the expense of its effective sensing range. This observation corresponds well to the simulation results. Response times of all the three sensors were found to be in millisecond range, and the best rms noise limited resolution was 0.07 mmHg (9 Pa). In the oxygen sensor development, oxygen sensing characteristics of In₂O₃ thin film at room temperature have been investigated through conductivity measurements using interdigitated metal finger patterned devices. We observed that the O₂ sensitivity gets affected very significantly in presence of moisture, as well as with applied dc bias. The O₂ sensitivity was found to increase several times in moist ambient compared to dry ambient condition. Higher dc bias also dramatically improved the sensitivity, which varied more than two orders of magnitude as the dc bias was increased from 0.5 to 10 V. We propose that the observed increase in sensitivity in presence of moisture is caused by enhanced surface electron density on In₂O₃ thin film resulting from the donation of… Advisors/Committee Members: Goutam Koley.

▼ Now-a-days sensors are not limited only to industry or research laboratories but have come to common man’s usage. From kids toys to house hold equipment like washing machine, microwave oven as well as in automobiles, a wide variety of sensors and actuators can be easily seen. The aim of the present thesis work is to discuss the design, development, fabrication and testing of miniaturized piezoresistive, absolute type, low pressure sensor and flow sensor. Detailed performance study of these sensors in different ambient conditions (including harsh environment such as radiation, temperature etc.) has been reported. Extensive study on designing of thin silicon diaphragms and optimization of piezoresistor parameters is presented. Various experiments have been performed to optimize the fabrication and packaging processes. In the present work, two low range absolute type pressure sensors (0-0.5 bar and 0-1 bar) and a novel flow sensor (0-0.1 L min-1) for gas flow rate measurement are developed. The thesis is divided into following six chapters. Chapter 1: It gives a general introduction about miniaturization, MEMS technology and its applications in sensors area. A brief overview of different micromachining techniques is presented, giving their relative advantages and limitations. Literature survey of various types of MEMS based pressure sensors along with recent developments is presented. At the end, the motivation for the present work and organization of the thesis is discussed. Chapter 2: In this chapter, various design aspects of low, absolute type pressure sensors (0-0.5 bar and 0-1 bar) are discussed in detail. Static analysis of the silicon diaphragms has been carried out both analytically as well as through finite element simulations. Piezoresistive analysis is carried out to optimize the piezoresistor dimensions and locations for maximum sensitivity and minimum nonlinearity. All the Finite Element Analyses (FEA) were carried out using Coventorware software. A novel approach for the selection of resistor parameters (sheet resistance, length to width ratio) is reported . Finally, the expected performance of the designed sensors is summarized. Chapter 3: This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part presents the fabrication process flow adopted to develop these low range absolute pressure sensors. Two fabrication process approaches (wet etching and dry etching) which are used to fabricate the thin diaphragms are discussed in detail. Following an overall description, various aspects of the fabrication are elaborated on, like mask design, photolithography process, ion-implantation, bulk micromachining and wafer bonding. The required parameters for implantation doses, annealing cycles, low stress nitride deposition and anodic bonding are optimized through extensive experimental trials. The second part of this chapter discusses about the different levels of packaging involved in the realization of pressure sensors. Finite Element Analyses (FEA) of Level -0 and Level-1 packages has been carried out using… Advisors/Committee Members: Rajanna, K.

▼ The rotational rheometer (cone-and-plate or parallel plates rheometer) is one of the most effective devices for measuring rheological properties of the viscoelastic liquid: the viscosity (?), the first normal stress difference (N?). However, it has been found practically that some errors were potentially associated with this type of rheometer: The “axial compliance error” is due to the use of linear-variable-displacement-transducer (LVDT) for first normal stress (N?) measurement, and it is potentially significant in the time-dependent material response measurement. Secondly, the low natural frequencies of sensitive LVDT springs fail in recording the high frequency response of a material. Lastly, misalignment of the sample holder (cone and plate) will change the geometry of the sample. These errors were quantified by performing rheology studies with the LVDT detached and a novel device fabricated with Micro-Electronic-Machining-System (MEMS) technique. The device is a pressure sensor plate of 25mm in diameter. It contains eight miniature capacitive pressure sensors, allowing measurements of the radical pressure profile, from which both the first normal stress (N?) and the second normal stress (N?) can be calculated. The apparent response time of N? to start-up of NIST-1490 shear flow was measured. The apparent response time was longer being measured with the LVDT than being measured with the pressure sensor plate, indicating that significant axial compliance errors were present during LVDT measurements. The natural frequency of the LVDT was lower than the high frequency behavior of the tested fluid NIST-1490. A slight cone-plate misalignment, smaller than the manufacturer?s suggested limit, developed a sinusoid-shaped radical pressure profile of the Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), corresponding to the axial plane of the tilt. However, this misalignment error can be reduced significantly by averaging the pressure profiles over clockwise and counterclockwise rotation manners. With the pressure sensor plate, the normal stress ratio, ¥= - N?, was measured to be 0.189 for PDMS. ? N?
