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 ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

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 ...

When designing an experiment or test, simplicity is important. Each process added to a test or experiment to obtain data increases the potential for error. For ...

Strain measurement is imperative during prototype design and testing. Measuring strain ensures that materials perform as they should and that equipment is safe, functional, and durable. The resistive ...

High-temperature thin film strain gauges have emerged as indispensable tools in monitoring the mechanical integrity of critical components operating under extreme thermal conditions. Through the ...

This video demonstrates a tensile test performed on a composite laminate specimen using strain gauges from Instron. ASTM D3039 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of ...

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 Wheatstone bridge is a way of measuring resistance with great accuracy and despite having been invented over 150 years ago, it still finds plenty of use today. Even searching for it on Hackaday ...
