Predicting Hose Failure in Extreme Environments
Researchers at Purdue University have developed sensor systems for early failure prediction that can be used on low and high pressure hoses. Low pressure hoses, usually constructed from materials such as rubber and Kevlar, will be equipped with parallel plate capacitors composed of layers of conductive fiber separated by a dielectric layer of rubber. High pressure hoses are constructed from many layers of rubber and spiral wire. Sensors for high pressure hoses can be composed of multilayer capacitance circuits made from materials resistant to high pressure.
