How does a strain gauge work?
A strain gauge operates by utilizing the principle of the electrical resistance change in response to mechanical deformation. It consists of a thin wire or foil grid pattern bonded to the surface of a material. When subjected to strain or stress, the material deforms, causing the strain gauge to also deform. This deformation alters the electrical resistance of the strain gauge, resulting in a measurable change in resistance. By measuring this change, the strain experienced by the material can be determined. This information is crucial for assessing the structural integrity, load distribution, and performance of various objects and systems in engineering and scientific applications.
