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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Local stress parameters (hot-spot structural stress, notch stress, stress intensity factors and J-integral) at spot welds are preferred in fatigue assessments of spotwelded structures because these ...

Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) controllers are used for manipulating an object in a CAD or 3d modeling program and are often called spacemice. You can twist it, push it, and even bop it. Most work with ...

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 ...

The late and lamented [Bob Pease] was one of a select band of engineers, each of whose authority in the field of analogue integrated circuit design was at the peak of the art. So when he remarks on ...
