On the Development of a Ring Type Mechanical Force Transducer: Experimental Characterization and Finite Element Study

This research focuses on the design of a ring type mechanical force transducer by varying the cross-sectional shape. Shape optimization codes produced minimum ring thickness between 45-60° with maximum thickness at point of load application. All optimization codes were found to have lowered stress l...
