Abstract

The invention discloses a conformal flexible mechanical sensing network and a printing preparation method thereof. The conformal flexible mechanical sensing network comprises a flexible layer and a conformal force-sensitive conductive layer, wherein the flexible layer is composed of more than one segmented flexible layer; the shape of the segmentation flexible layer is consistent with the shape of a segmentation plane which is approximately expanded by a target curved surface; the conformal force-sensitive conductive layer comprises a force-sensitive sensing unit; one side surface of the flexible layer is a first surface; and the conformal force-sensitive conductive layer is arranged on the first surface. According to the method, the shape of the flexible layer is consistent with the shape of the plane after the target curved surface is approximately unfolded, and an acquisition circuit is designed on the flexible layer; segmented planes of the flexible layer can be well overlapped with the target curved surface after being spatially folded back so that the fitting degree of the sensor arranged on the flexible layer and the surface of the object to be measured is greatly improved.
