The first strain gage used by Dr. Arthur Ruge at MIT was made of wire, cigarette paper, and bonded with Duco Cement. While the technology has advanced a long way, the base principles have not changed. An intimate bond with a substrate transfers in-plane strain to the sensing foil of the gage which causes the gage resistance to change.

Struggling with temperature effects in strain measurement? As much as we wish for a stable environment, temperature variations are inevitable. But fear not, as there are solutions. Learn about compensating for temperature effects in strain measurement and how materials expand and contract with changing temperatures.
