TORQUE MEASUREMENT USING MILLIMETER-WAVE METAMATERIAL

摘要

A torque measurement system includes a first rotatable carrier structure mechanically coupled to a rotational shaft; a second rotatable carrier structure mechanically coupled to the rotational shaft; a first mutually coupled structure including a first track mechanically coupled to the first rotatable carrier structure and a second track mechanically coupled to the second rotatable carrier structure, where the first track and the second track are coupled together by a first torque dependent coupling; a second mutually coupled structure including a third track mechanically coupled to the first rotatable carrier structure and a fourth track mechanically coupled to the second rotatable carrier structure, where the third track and the fourth track are coupled together by a second torque dependent coupling. In response to a rotation of the rotational shaft, the first torque dependent coupling is configured to increase and the second torque dependent coupling is configured to decrease.
