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 ...
Click here to read the print version. In 1856, Lord Kelvin observed that metallic conductors subjected to mechanical strain exhibit a change in their electrical resistance. Since that time engineers ...
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 ...
I WISH to direct attention to the performance of Minalpha wire as supplied by Johnson Matthey when used as the filament in an electrical resistance wire strain-gauge, and also to indicate the effect ...
Many conventional strain gages are similar in appearance to Figure 1. A serpentine pattern etched into a metal foil creates a relatively high resistance in a small space. The foil is bonded to a thin ...
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 ...
MALVERN, PA--(Marketwire - Jan 24, 2013) - Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its Micro-Measurements brand series of high-resistance miniature foil strain gages has been ...
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 ...
Viatran develops pressure transmitters with four different pressure sensing technologies. The company analyzes the requirements of an application and selects the technology that ideally serves that ...
In 1856, Lord Kelvin observed that metallic conductors subjected to mechanical strain exhibit a change in their electrical resistance. Since that time, engineers have attempted to measure and quantify ...
