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 ...

In 1856, Lord Kelvin observed that metallic conductors subjected to mechanical strain exhibit a change in their electrical resistance. Since that time, engineers have attempted to measure and quantify ...

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 ...

“Gauging the strain,” February’s Special Report on Data Acquisition, presented traditional strain gage theory and highlighted several instruments and bridge amplifiers suitable for use with strain ...

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Micro-Measurements ® brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) (www.micro-measurements.com), industry experts in the design, development, and manufacture of ...

They operate on a simple physical property of materials: The measured resistance of a material depends on its length and cross-sectional area. A material under an applied force is said to be under ...

[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 ...

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 ...

The global measurement instrumentation market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by Industry 4.0, the expansion of ...

A knob can make a surprisingly versatile interface, particularly if it’s the SmartKnob, which builds a knob around a BLDC motor for programmable haptic response. It can rotate freely or with a set ...

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 ...
