Semiconductor strain gauges find their primary application in the construction of transducers, such as load cells and pressure transducers. Why do measuring instruments manufacturers usually use semiconductor strain gauges even though they are significantly more expensive than metallic strain gauges? Name two pros and two cons of these strain gauges compared to metallic strain gauges. Paragraph B A Lato (Recom... 19px... v T + v

A strain gauge is used to measure the tension force in a 1-in. diameter bar of steel (E = 30, 000, 000 lb/ in?). The strain gauge has a nominal resistance of 140 N and a gauge factor (GF) of 4. The strain gauge is connected to a bridge (which is supplied with 10 Vdc). The bridge was initially balanced. After the bar is put under tension, the bridge output voltage goes to 0.0008 Vdc. Draw a schematic of the setup and calculate the force.

Two separate strain gauges are attached to the structural member; one is a nickel wire strain gauge having a gauge factor of -12.1 and the other is nichrome wire strain gauge having a gauge factor of 2. Calculate the value of resistance of the two gauges after they are strained, if the resistance of strain gauges before being strained is 120 2, and the compressive strain is 5 micro-strain. Assume positive value for tensile strain and negative for compressive strain. (Answer: For Nickel, R = 120.00726 Q. For Nichrome, R = 119.9988 Q)

A metallic strain gauge produces an electrical resistance change when subjected to mechanical strain. However, engineers don't measure this voltage drop directly using a voltmeter. Why don't we directly measure the voltage drop across the strain gauge, and instead, use a Wheatstone Bridge? Damgraph >
