  2. Gauge factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_factor

    In constantan strain gauges (the most commercially popular), the effect accounts for 20% of the gauge factor, but in silicon gauges, the contribution of the piezoresistive term is much larger than the geometric terms. This can be seen in the general examples of strain gauges below:

  3. Strain gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_gauge

    An unmounted resistive foil strain gauge. A strain gauge takes advantage of the physical property of electrical conductance and its dependence on the conductor's geometry. . When an electrical conductor is stretched within the limits of its elasticity such that it does not break or permanently deform, it will become narrower and longer, which increases its electrical resistance end-to-

  4. Chart of accounts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts

    A chart of accounts (COA) is a list of financial accounts and reference numbers, grouped into categories, such as assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses, and used for recording transactions in the organization's general ledger. Accounts may be associated with an identifier (account number) and a caption or header and are coded by ...

  5. Split-Hopkinson pressure bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-Hopkinson_pressure_bar

    For compression testing, two symmetrical bars are situated in series, with the sample in between. The incident bar is struck by a striker bar during testing. The striker bar is fired from a gas gun. The transmitted bar collides with a momentum trap (typically a block of soft metal). Strain gauges are mounted on both the incident and transmitted ...

  6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The strain gauge is generally glued (foil strain gauge) or deposited (thin-film strain gauge) onto a membrane. Membrane deflection due to pressure causes a resistance change in the strain gauge which can be electronically measured. Piezoresistive strain gauge Uses the piezoresistive effect of bonded or formed strain gauges to detect strain due ...

  7. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    A strain gauge sensor measures the deformation of the elastic element, and the output of the sensor is converted by an electronic circuit to a signal that represents the load. Capacitive strain gauges measure the deformation of the elastic material using the change in capacitance of two plates as the plates move closer to each other.

  8. Tensile testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_testing

    The sample is held at constant temperature and tension, and strain on the material is measured using strain gauges or laser gauges. The measured strain can be fitted with equations governing different mechanisms of creep, such as power law creep or diffusion creep (see creep for more information). Further analysis can be obtained from examining ...

  9. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Strain is the ratio of change in length to the original length, when a given body is subjected to some external force (Strain= change in length÷the original length). Stress analysis is a primary task for civil , mechanical and aerospace engineers involved in the design of structures of all sizes, such as tunnels , bridges and dams , aircraft ...
