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).


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 difference between a passive transducer and an active transducer?

Passive transducers - require an external power to operate, and theoutput is a measure of some variation in passive components (e.g. resistance orcapacitance)Examples of passive transducer :-Slide-wire resistor▫ Resistance strain gauge▫ Differential transformerActive Transducers - Self generating type - do not require an external power,and produce an analog voltage or current when stimulated by some physical form of energy.▫ Thermocouple▫ Photovoltaic cell▫ Moving coil generator
