CAST COMPONENT HAVING A SENSOR FOR DETECTING MECHANICAL LOADS AND/OR DEFORMATIONS, AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING MECHANICAL LOADS AND/OR DEFORMATIONS IN A CAST COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a cast component comprising a cast base body and at least one sensor at least partly embedded in the cast base body for detecting mechanical loads and/or deformations of the cast component. The at least one sensor is designed in the form of at least one short-circuit element or in the form of at least one optical conductor. The short-circuit element comprises at least one electrically conductive component and at least one electrically insulating component, which insulates the at least one electrically conductive component electrically with respect to the cast base body. According to the invention, the at least one sensor is designed and arranged such that, beginning at a specific mechanical load and/or deformation of the cast component, an electrical connection or a light conductor in the at least one sensor is interrupted or produced. The invention further relates to a method for producing the cast component according to the invention, to a device comprising the cast component according to the invention for detecting mechanical loads and/or deformations in the cast component, and to the use of the cast component according to the invention and of the device according to the invention.
