Turning a Conventional Machine Part into a Smart Enabler for Condition Monitoring
This study [1] introduces the sensor-integrating feather key (SiFK), a smart machine element that enables direct, calibration-free measurement of transmitted circumferential forces and torque in feather key connections. Through topology optimization and targeted stiffness design, the geometry is adapted so that only a minimal number of strain gauges are required to capture the complete deformation…
