ABSTRACT:
A thin shell pressure sensor for sensing in situ pressures in a medium in which the sensor is embedded is provided. The sensor operates on the principle that the membrane stresses near the apex of a thin shell under an external pressure load are proportional to the applied pressure. The constant of proportionality is dependent only on the geometry of the sensor.
