ABSTRACT:
A non intrusive method and system for the dynamic measurement of a distance, or the variations over time thereof, constituting the thickness, or the variations thereof, of a thin compressible dielectric material located between one or several other closely spaced solid dielectric layers of constant thickness and a conductive or semi-conductive surface. This is achieved by positioning a capacitive sensor on the external layer of the dielectric material, the sensor being composed of two parallel plates electrically insulated from one another, feeding the first plate with a high frequency signal, measuring the voltage and current value over time generated by the high frequency signal between the plate of the sensor which is closest to the surface of the outer layer of dielectric material, and deducting the above distance or variations thereof.
