By measuring strain, engineers can infer the stress of a material—an important factor because stress defines whether a part will bend or break. The stress may also represent a fluid pressure behind a ...

Another important consideration in strain measurements for inhomogeneous materials, such as concrete and reinforced plastics, is gauge length. The length must be large in relation to the size of the ...

the Wheatstone bridge circuit, and giving rise to an output voltage proportional to the deformation. The ratio of the change in length to the gauge length is the average strain of the sample between ...

HBM has announced a new RF9 miniature rosette strain gauge, which is suitable for measurements on printed circuit boards (PCB), small components or applications with limited space. Compact in size, ...

iFixit says there are actually two rows of strain gauges on each sensor, giving the Pixel even more sensitivity and “allowing it to detect even the slightest of deflections.” That increased ...
