We present a multi-axis force sensor capable of measuring both axial forces and bending moments that is integrable into a cavity within a M20 bolt. This cavity, which reduces the resilience of the bolt by 23.5 %, and, thus, corresponds to a reduction by only one strength class, is designed by conducting a finite element analysis. The force sensor f...

Sensor-integrating machine elements (SiME) are essential enablers for digitization in the industry. There are major challenges in the development of SiME as an interdisciplinary mechatronic system, requiring methodical support. In this work, we address these challenges and aim to provide methods and tools by analyzing the state-of-the-art and ten o...
