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 ...

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 ...

This video demonstrates a tensile test performed on a composite laminate specimen using strain gauges from Instron. ASTM D3039 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

“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 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 ...
