5 Questions
Who are the inventors of the strain gauge?
Edward E. Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge
What is the primary parameter that a strain gauge converts into a change in resistance?
Force
What are the significant applications of strain gauges in the geotechnical field?
Measuring strain on structures such as dams, buildings, nuclear plants, and tunnels
What are the characteristics of strain gauges in terms of temperature, communication, maintenance, and operating life?
- Highly precise and not influenced by temperature changes. 2. Ideal for long distance communication. 3. Require easy maintenance and have a long operating life.
What is the formula for resistance in terms of length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the material?
R= ρL/A
