Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Theory of Piezoresistive Model
- (1)
- It is impossible for shear stress to produce positive piezoresistive effect,
- (2)
- Normal stress cannot produce shear piezoresistive effect,
- (3)
- Shear stress can only produce piezoresistive effect in the plane which acts on,

4.3. Piezoresistive Constitutive Verification
5. Conclusions
- (1)
- Based on piezoresistance theory, the constitutive model of the polymer-matrix carbon fiber mat under plane stress state was deduced in this paper, and the response law of its resistance under bidirectional strains was investigated. Combined with the experimental results, the piezoresistance sensitivity factor of the polymer-matrix carbon fiber mat was obtained, and the piezoresistance constitutive relationship in the orthogonal strain state was established. The rationality of the piezoresistance relationship was verified by comparing it with the experimental results.
- (2)
- In this study, the shear piezoresistance sensitivity factor of the carbon fiber mat could not be measured. Therefore, further research is needed in the future.
