TY - JOUR AU - Ziel, Christopher AB - A dynamic, physics-based model is presented for ionic polymermetal composite(IPMC) sensors. The model is an infinite-dimensional transfer function relatingthe short-circuit sensing current to the applied deformation. It is obtained byderiving the exact solution to the governing partial differential equation (PDE)for the sensing dynamics, where the effect of distributed surface resistance isincorporated. The PDE is solved in the Laplace domain, subject to the conditionthat the charge density at the boundary is proportional to the applied stress.The physical model is expressed in terms of fundamental material parametersand sensor dimensions and is thus scalable. It can be easily reduced to low-ordermodels for real-time conditioning of sensor signals in targeted applications ofIPMC sensors. Experimental results are provided to validate the proposed model.
