Figure 20
The illustration presents a top-down finite element analysis of the double-slotted composite sensor, depicting the Von Mises stress distribution. The geometry features symmetric rectangular arrangements, with dual central square and rectangular cutouts and mounting holes. The stress contours use a color scale, with most high-stress regions in red centered around the slots and inside faces, while blue and green represent lower-stress areas farther from the features. The center area between the slots shows the highest stress concentration, highlighted in red and yellow. The vertical color scale bar on the right ranges from 0.1 times 10 to the 7th power (blue) at the bottom to 1 times 10 to the 7th power (red) at the top. Axes x, y, and z are labeled in the left corner of the image. The horizontal axis extending left is labeled x and ranges from 0 to 400 millimeters with an interval of 200 millimeters. The vertical (y) axis on the right ranges from 1.07 times 10 to the 4th power to 5.75 times 10 to the 8th power (Newtons per square meter). The z-axis from the top front to inside the plan ranges from 0 to 100 millimeters. Grid lines and axis ticks are visible at the top and the left sides.Von mises of the double-slotted composite sensor. Source(s): Authors’ own work
