The Model 700B welder unit is a portable, lightweight instrument that is ideal for installing weldable strain gages and temperature sensors to metallic surfaces in difficult industrial and outdoor ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 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 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 ...

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 ...

B&R has added 2 new analog input modules to its X20 I/O series that can be used to digitize signals from strain gauges: the X20AIA744 with 2 full-bridge strain gauge inputs and the X20AIB744 with 4 ...

HBM has announced the date for its latest Installation of Strain Gauges training course, which takes place on 18 October 2016 at Silverstone Wing in Northants. Taking place between 9am to 5pm, this ...

Durability of components under dynamic load can be increased by understanding the origin of the stress and strain distribution. While numerical simulations based on finite element (FE) models can help ...
