Strain gaging is a process used to measure the strain on an object, typically by measuring the change in electrical resistance of a conductive material when it is subjected to mechanical strain. This is typically done using a device called a strain gage, which is attached to the surface of the object being measured. As the object is subjected to strain, the gage’s resistance changes in proportion to the amount of strain. This change in resistance is then measured and interpreted using a strain gage amplifier or other measurement device.
Strain gaging is useful because it allows for the precise measurement of strain on an object. Strain is a measure of the deformation of an object in response to applied forces, and it can provide valuable information about the structural integrity and performance of an object. By measuring strain, engineers and researchers can determine how an object will respond to different loads and stresses, and can use this information to design and test more durable and efficient structures and systems.
Strain gaging is used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering. It is also used in research and development, to test the performance and durability of materials and structures.
