Bonded resistance strain gage applications
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5117666
The practical experience and engineering techniques in the past decade to assure proper application and accurate data from bonded resistance strain gages are summarized. The underlying principles of strain gages are described, along with typical applications and the ever-present and sometimes subtle problems of temperature compensation, lead wire errors, gage factors, etc. Various hookup arrangements are explained, showing how strain gages can be used to determine bending, torque, tension, compression and shear forces. This report is intended to provide a general guide on strain gage applications and to assist in overcoming some of the potential problems that arise in their use.
