Strain can be defined as the deformation of a material resulting from applied force, and it is measured by change in length. It can be either compressive or tensile. A strain gauge is a device that ...

This article discusses strain gauge technology and gives practical applications in medical device and equipment manufacturing. It explains the typical processes by which cusotm strain gauge technology ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

The wireless strain gauge is ideal for measuring strain in locations that are not easily accessible. The module uses the low noise, zero drift ISL28133 to amplify the signal from the strain sensor and ...

This article appeared in Electronic Design and has been published here with permission. Strain—the response of a material to an applied stress due to an applied force or weight—is an important ...

Micro-Measurements, a Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) brand, today announced that its Model P3 Strain Indicator and Recorder is now available from Digi-Key Electronics, an authorized distributor of ...

Many conventional strain gages are similar in appearance to Figure 1. A serpentine pattern etched into a metal foil creates a relatively high resistance in a small space. The foil is bonded to a thin ...

[Curious Scientist] tried building an integrated strain gauge on a PCB, but ran into problems. Mainly, the low resistance of the traces didn’t show enough change under strain to measure easily. Even ...

The short answer that [ari kardasis] comes up with in the video below is… sort of. With the help of a wonderfully complex array of strain gauges and a Raspberry Pi, he found that the story isn’t so ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...

The levels of mechanicalstrain most typically measured with strain gauges are very small and precise.Consequently, changes in resistance are also very small and thus cannot bemeasured directly with an ...
