Strain gauges are the fundamental sensing elements for many types of sensors, including pressure sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and position sensors. Most strain gauges are foil types, available ...

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 ...

Measuring strains during mechanical testing can be challenging, particularly when initially developing the capability. Additionally, there are multiple strain measurement methods to choose from, each ...
