I was one of the principal designers for the Lockheed Skunk Works flight test instrumentation group back in the late '70s through my retirement in 2008. Back around 1980, we were working toward the ...

Strain can be defined as the deformation of a material resulting from applied force, and it is measured by change in length. It can be either compressive or tensile. A strain gauge is a device that ...

Strain gauges are the fundamental sensing elements for many types of sensors, including pressure sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and position sensors. Most strain gauges are foil types, available ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

Use of wireless strain gauges to detect stress and strain in a structure has been demonstrated with the help of US Naval Air Systems Command, which believes the technology could reduce maintenance ...

Interest in mechanical compliance has been motivated by the development of flexible electronics and mechanosensors. In particular, studies and characterization of structural deformation at the ...

An elegant modification of nuclear magnetic resonance allows detailed structural analysis of self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots, so far hindered by the intrinsic strain in these nanostructures.
