Woven sensor systems for wearable wireless networks
Incoming article date: 28.03.2022A comparative analysis of the possibilities of using woven composite materials with specified sensory properties as information and measurement systems of the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is presented. It is proposed to consider such woven sensor systems as a basis for building a network interaction environment for components of wireless wearable sensor networks, as well as systems for monitoring the stress-strain state of products made of woven composite materials. To impart sensory qualities to such multilayer 3D fabrics at the stage of their development, it is proposed to modify their structure by introducing threads, on the one hand, having the properties necessary for the formation of data transmission channels, and on the other, being piezoelectric sensors, whose signals allow monitoring the dynamics of changes in the stress-strain state of a woven composite material.The release of a functionally augmented 3D fabric in this way opens up real prospects for conducting a full-scale experiment to study the sensory properties of spatially extended products made of woven composite materials.
