An interfacial stress sensor was presented which was capable of measuring compressive pressure and shear stress simultaneously. A mathematical model was built and an experiment was conducted to obtain the transfer function of interfacial stress sensor to compressive pressure. The results show that the sensor is capable of measuring a range of 30-217 kPa compressive pressure with a relative error of 32.15% in lower range and 6.22% in upper range.展开更多
