the advantage of this method is that the sensitivity and stiffness
of the force sensors are not affected by the design process of

To design the sensitivity, the strain related to the x-direction

times the sum of t and b, the gain can be obtained as

the elastic support of the thin plates, which was considered for
FEM but not in the analytical method.
As regards the eigenfrequency of the model-sensor
system, the FEM results were lower than the estimated
values. Only the deflection of the plates in the direction
of L was considered by the estimation equations (5) and
(7). The deflections of the plates in other directions affect
the compliance of the sensor along the corresponding axes.
