The vibrissal sensory system consists of two components: the hair shaft and the follicle-sinus complex (FSC). Both components affect the collection of information, but the impacts of the different properties are not completely clear. Borrowing the natural example, the goal is to design a powerful artificial sensor. The influence of a continuous visco-elastic support is analyzed for an artificial sensor following hypotheses about the FSC. Starting with a theoretical treatment of this scenario, the vibrissa is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli bending beam with a partially continuous visco-elastic support. The numerical simulations are validated by experiments. Using a steel strip as a technical vibrissa and a magneto-sensitive elastomer (MSE) as representation of the artificial continuous visco-elastic support, FSC respectively, the first resonance frequency is determined.}, language = {en} } @misc{ChavezBoehmScharffetal., author = {Chavez, Jhohan and B{\"o}hm, Valter and Scharff, M. and Prem, Nina and Monkman, Gareth J. and Becker, Tatiana I. and G{\"u}nther, L. and Alencastre, Jorge H. and Grieseler, R. and Zimmermann, Klaus}, title = {Magneto-active elastomer as viscoelastic foundation material for artificial tactile sensors with tuneable properties}, series = {Book of Abstracts of the 16th German Ferrofluid Workshop, Braunschweig, 18.-20.07.2018}, journal = {Book of Abstracts of the 16th German Ferrofluid Workshop, Braunschweig, 18.-20.07.2018}, pages = {16 -- 17}, language = {en} }
