Dynamic response and failure mechanisms of a laser-fabricated flexible thin film strain gauge

Increasing demand for smart devices has spurred the development of advanced sensors with smaller and more adaptable form factors. The integration of thin film technology into sensors such as strain gauges has the potential to reduce their size and allow for the use of new manufacturing techniques. However, fabrication of reliable thin film strain gauges remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate the manufacture of a 1025 Ω flexible thin film …
