Development of the Strain Sensitive Switch (SSS).

Abstract

A Strain-Sensitive Switch (SSS) has been developed to serve as an inexpensive intrusion sensor in situations where the stress of intrusion results in small but significant displacements (strains) in the structures intruded upon. This Final Report details the various phases of the development, including the gathering of data on typical strain signatures created in structures undergoing simulated intrusion, the design of an advanced development model switch to be sensitive to such strains, and some results of testing the switch.
