Strain gauges for low elastic materials (plastic, wood, gypsum)

Strain gauges for low elastic materials, such as plastic, wood and gypsum, are sensors specifically designed to measure deformations and stresses in low elasticity materials. These strain gauges are often used in situations where traditional strain gauges may not be as effective due to the specific properties of these materials.
