ABSTRACT:
A sensor, sensory array, and associated method for measuring a pressure are provided. The sensor includes a piezoelectric sensory device that is disposed on an electrically insulative substrate that can be adhered to a member for measuring the pressure on the member. The piezoelectric sensory device defines first and second contact surfaces and is adapted to provide an electric potential between the surfaces that corresponds to a pressure on the piezoelectric sensory device. Conductive terminals are in electrical communication with the piezoelectric sensory device and therefore also provide the electric potential indicative of the pressure on the surface of the test member. An electrically insulative sheet is disposed opposite the piezoelectric sensory device from the substrate. An electronic monitoring device can be electrically connected to the piezoelectric sensory device via the terminals and configured to monitor the electric potential provided by the piezoelectric sensory device.
