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 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 ...

The “DAQ on a Stick, Strain Gauge with Programmable IN-Amp” is one of a series of reference designs highlighting Intersil’s precision products with different microcontrollers. This reference design is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

THIS is a very useful and ingenious apparatus for measuring the extension or compression produced on any material by tensile or compressive forces. Such deformations having been observed, the ...

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 ...

Strain—the response of a material to an applied stress due to an applied force or weight—is an important physical parameter in any application ranging from bridge monitoring to IC die packaging and ...
