Stress and Strain• When external forces are applied to a stationary object,
stress and strain are the result• Stress is defined as the object's internal resisting
forces• Strain is defined as the displacement and deformation
that occur.

What is a Strain Gauge
• A Strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force
• Strain gauges are used for the measurement of strain
• “Strain" consists of tensile and compressive strain, distinguished by a positive or negative sign
• Strain gauges can be used to pick up expansion as well as contraction

![Page 5: STRAIN GAUGE-LECTURE.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545e7203b1af9f3c568b4b65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MECHANICAL STRAIN GAUGES:-• The mechanical devices are generally known as extensometer
and are used to measure strain under static or gradually varying loading condition.
PRINCIPLE:-
• Extensometer is usually provided with two knife edges.
• They are clamped firmly in contact with the test component at a specific distance.
• When the test component is strained, the two knife edge undergoes a small relative displacement.
• This displacement is amplified through a mechanical linkage and magnified displacement or strain is displayed on a calibrated scale.

• The strain gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern.
• The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive. As the object is deformed, the foil is deformed, causing its electrical resistance to change.
• Foil type strain gauges having a zigzag conductor made out of an etched foil• Very widely used as bonded strain gauges • This resistance change, usually measured using a Wheatstone bridge, is
related to the strain by the quantity known as the gauge factor.
