The supporting curvature ranges from 1.41 to 6.24 \u00b4 10\u22122 mm\u22121 and the sensing patch has a thickness of less than 130 \u03bcm and 20 \u00b4 20 mm2 dimensions. A complete finite element method (FEM) model with simulation results was calculated and performed based on the buckling of columns and the deflection equation. The results show high compatibility of the drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printing with photolithography and the interferometer design also supports bi-directional detection of deformation. The 3DS sensing patch can be operated remotely without any power consumption. It provides a novel and alternative option compared with other optical curvature sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s120404172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,28]],"date-time":"2012-03-28T11:20:43Z","timestamp":1332933643000},"page":"4172-4186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A High Sensitivity Three-Dimensional-Shape Sensing Patch Prepared by Lithography and Inkjet Printing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yi-Ren","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheng-An","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Stach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chia-Hsing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Power Mechanical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kuan-Hsun","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Yao","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems, National Tsing Hua University, No. 101, Section 2, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu 30013, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"839","DOI":"10.1109\/JSEN.2005.844335","article-title":"A novel long period fiber grating sensor measuring curvature and determining bend-direction simultaneously","volume":"5","author":"Wang","year":"2005","journal-title":"IEEE Sens.
