Can I use one layer of a two-layer QuickPack for sensing and the other layer for actuation?
This technique is usually not effective. The reason is mainly that the sensing layer will mostly sense strain that is being induced by the actuating layer, instead of measuring the natural dynamics of the structure. This problem is often called feed-through, because the actuator output is fed directly through the sensor to the controller. In general, we have found that a separate QuickPack device placed next to the actuator works much better than having one on top of the other.
