Abstract
By combining at least two strain sensors in a symmetric configuration, a dual use sensor may be realized. This may reduce the footprint, cost, and complexity of employing two different sensors. It may also improve the accuracy of the measurements as two different parameters i.e., strain and environmental information are measured at the same physical location. This dual use sensor may be deployed in an array over a large area or space, providing systemic information of the subject that is previously difficult to detect.
