Conductors play a crucial role in the design of flexible strain sensors by facilitating the measurement of mechanical deformation or strain in various materials. These sensors are designed to change their electrical resistance in response to mechanical deformation, allowing them to convert physical strain into an easily measurable electrical signal. Here's how conductors are used in the design of flexible strain sensors:
Conductive Materials: Flexible strain sensors are constructed using conductive materials that can change their resistance when subjected to strain
