A Novel Technique to Design and Optimize Performances of Custom Load Cells for Sport Gesture Analysis

DiscussionThe conducted analysis enables to calculate the sensitivity of the load cell to the exerted forces, and evaluates its dependence to the positioning of strain gauges, and makes it possible to appropriately choose strain gauges positioning in areas where border effects are minimized. The strain distributions obtained by the FEM analysis in the presented load cells gives useful indications for all the situations where small strain gauges are requested to be mounted on a reduced offered area.Graphical abstract
