▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The method involves depositing a material on the structure. The material exhibits a piezo-resistive effect. The strain sensing pattern is sintered from the material such that the strain sensing pattern becomes electrically conductive after depositing the material onto the structure. The pin connector is attached to the electrically conductive strain sensing pattern. The structure is a functional structure comprising one of a support beam and a wing of a vehicle. The depositing and sintering steps are configured to conform to a map of the curvature of the structure. The material comprises one of graphene, silver and copper. The depositing process includes using aerosol spray, a custom spray gun, rolling or painting material onto the structure. USE - Method for fabricating strain sensing device (claimed) directly on structure. ADVANTAGE - The strain sensing device is directly fabricated on a structure of interest to measure strain experienced by the structure, the fabrication involving printing or other material deposition methods and laser scanning or other selective sintering methods. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a strain sensing device. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the schematic diagram illustrating a multi-layer graphene-based strain sensing device printed or deposited directed on a structure. 22Functional structure 24First insulating layer 26First graphene layer 30Large contact pad 34Second graphene layer
