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 ...

When used for materials testing, extensometers are used to accurately measure material properties that are critical for a vast range of engineering designs - aircraft, energy systems, medical devices, ...

Strain is defined as the amount of deformation an object undergoes in response to an applied force. While it is easy to observe the results of strain—a stretch or a compression, for example—measuring ...

Strain gages are sensing devices used in a variety of physical test and measurement applications. They change resistance at their output terminals when stretched or compressed. Because of this ...

The engineering measurement called strain is the deformation per unit of length of a material when force is applied to it. In other words, strain is a ratio of a material's change in length from an ...

The strain gage is one of the most common sensors used in automotive tests. Automotive test engineers use strain gages in materials test, durability tests, aerodynamics tests, and powertrain tests to ...

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 ...
