Abstract(in English) Measurement of distributed force is highly demanded in various fields such as robotics. Flexible and non-metal sensor configuration is often required in these applications. In this report, a distributed sensing method using an elastic tube, a small loud speaker and a microphone has been proposed, where the position of deformation along the tube can be found from the acoustic characteristics of the tube. Basic properties of the distributed sensor were studied using a 1.2-m long resin elastic tube of 10 mm in inner diameter. The distribution of deformation was estimated from the frequency responses measured at one end of the tube with white noise excitation. The position of deformation was successfully detected from the Fourier transform of the frequency response. It was also proved that two separate deformed parts were able to be discriminated.
