Design and characterization of the liquid metal antenna optimally embedded in concrete beam prototype as an alternative strain sensor
Fernandez, Edmon O1, Ira Valenzuela2, John William Orillo3.
This paper presents the implementation of the novel dipole liquid metal antenna as an
alternative strain sensor when embedded in the optimal location of a concrete beam
prototype. The antenna is made up of eutectic Indium Gallium, a fluid metal alloy,
encased in a microfluidic channel, namely, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer
fabricated using McGyver-esque technique to microfabrication. The fluidic dipole antenna
being highly flexible, stretchable, and reversibly deformable mimics the basic
characteristics of the strain sensor where its resonant frequency is inversely related to its
length. The concrete specimen was subjected to center – point loading tests where the
resonant frequency of the liquid antenna embedded in it was measured simultaneously.
Statistical analysis of the results show that there is a significant relationship between the
displacement of the concrete specimen and the resonant frequency of the embedded
antenna.
