Basics of Strain Gauge Measurements
The strain gauge is one of the most useful tools for precisely measuring expansion or contraction of a material as forces are applied. Strain gauges are also useful for measuring applied forces indirectly if they are aligned approximately linearly with the deformation of the material. What are Strain Gauges Strain gauges are sensors whose electrical […]
