Thanks. This is what I also feel. But how do I show it theoretically? May be by writing some equations. I know stress is force by area and if we take cross-sectional areas, it will be less towards the surface and hence we can say that stress is maximum there. Is there any other way?
We are planning to use the signal as an input to games that we will develop. So we want the largest possible signal and if we need some modifications we can do that in software. But the initial signal should the largest. So could you please let me know what's your opinion on this?
Our goal is to place the sensors at maximum stress points so that squeezing force is efficiently converted to signals. Am I wrong to think like this?
For example, we have a foam ball and we have few sensors. We need to place the sensors(doesn't matter how many) inside the foam ball so that...
So when I squeeze the ball, greatest stress will be under the finger tips and hence it will be better to place the sensors there if I need to convert the force applied to an signal.
Thanks a lot for the reply. Could you please explain me what do you mean by "because the area is arbitrary it is somewhat meaningless to talk about the "force" inside the ball at any point" ? I understood about stress part. Stress would be maximum towards the surface as the surface area is less...
I have few doubts to clear. I would like to know the forces acting when we squeeze a foam ball. Mode of squeeze will be by placing the ball between the palm of the hand and the four fingers.
What will be the force acting at the center of the ball when we squeeze? Is the force same through out...
