Strain Gages on Composites—Gage-Selection Criteria

  • Chapter

  • 446 Accesses

Abstract

Selection of the proper strain gage is one of the first steps toward a successful test. The test material, the test environment, and the goals of the strain-gage survey must all be considered when choosing a strain gage, as well as the total cost of the gage installation.
