The models are used to study the electrical and the mechanical behavior of printed sensing structures. The main models are made using Matlab. Additionally, Finite Element (FE) models are used to verify these results. This is done using Comsol Multiphysics, which is controlled from a Matlab environment using 'Comsol livelink for Matlab'. The models are integrated in an optimization tool, in the form of a Matlab App.
