Summary: | Background. A characteristic feature of the global development of information and control systems in the
late XX – early XXI century is the increasingly widespread use of pressure sensors in all spheres of life. Sensors are used
in industrial branches, in automation of production processes, in automobile, aviation and railway transport, rocketspace
and aviation engineering. Due to the complexity and labor intensity of the technological process of pressure sensors,
a special role in the process of their design methods of simulation, the use of which can significantly reduce the
time and cost of developing pressure sensors. Materials and methods. As a method of research, simulation modeling was
used, in which the sensor under study is replaced by its model, with which experiments are conducted in order to obtain
information about the object. The specialized software Solidworks was used in the experiment to avoid expensive and time-consuming cycles of design-build-testing. Results. As a result of modeling the sensor membrane to increase its sensitivity
to pressure drop, the membrane thickness and the diaphragm deflection range were determined. And also the
dependence of the deflection value on the thickness of the membrane was determined.
