Best Answer

The strain gage indicates strain, and the stress is from Hooke's law; stress = modulus times strain so you need to know the modulus of elasticity

Difference between unbonded strain gauge and bonded strain gauge?

The essential difference is that the bonded strain gauges are bonded on to the specimen whose strain is being measured whereas the unbonded strain gauges are not bonded on to the specimen. As the bonded strain gauges are well bonded on to the specimen, the entire strain being experienced by the specimen is transferred to the strain gauge. However, the bonded strain gauges are affected by temperature changes and also due to transverse strains.For transverse strains and ambient temperature compensations, suitable circuits for compensation can be used using Wheatstone's bridge. The unbonded strain gauges cannot transfer the strain of the specimen to the strain gauge and hence it is used mainly for displacement, or pressure or force transducers. It is least affected by transverse strain and temperature compensation of unbonded gauges cis automatically eliminated using Wheatstone's bridge.

What is the purpose of a strain gauge?

A strain gauge is used to measure the strain of an object. It was invented by the inventors Edward Simmons and Arthur Ruge in 1938. There are several types of gauges (metallic, capacitance, photo-electrics and semiconductor gauges).


Where is constantan used?

In many typical installations, it is used in strain gauges.


Why are semiconductor strain gauges more sensitive than metal strain gauges?

Semi-conducting materials changes in inter-atomic spacing resulting from strain affect the band gaps, making it easier for electrons to be raised into the conduction band while in metals, resistance change is mostly due to the change of geometry resulting from applied mechanical stress.

How do you calibrate feeler gauges?

a feeler guage cannot be calibrated, it is made at precise measurements that cannot be changed. When a feeler guage is out of spec, it is replaced.
