Figure 9
The illustration shows a computer-aided design (CAD) top-down view of a solid gray I-beam or rail-shaped structural member. The geometry features wide rectangular flanges at both ends and a thinner central web in the middle, with the grooves along the length of the flanges. These grooves are finely modeled as parallel recessed channels that run longitudinally. At the center, colored x-y-z axes are shown for orientation, with red for x, green for y, and blue for z. The part appears symmetric, and the background is light gray, typical for engineering design visualizations.Back of composite sensor. Source(s): Authors’ own work
