    Strain gage is a resistance wire cemented to an object that measures force. When force is applied, the object distorts slightly by stretching or compressing. This distortion is called strain. Hooke's law states that the force applied is proportional to the strain. A strain gage works by measuring changes in resistance as the wire is stretched or compressed by the object's distortion. When stretched, the wire's length and resistance increase while its cross-sectional area decreases.

    Parts of a Strain Gage
    What is Strain Gage?
    • A strain gage is basically a resistance wire which is firmly
    cemented to a surface of a strong object with then receives a
    force.

    • When force is applied to the object, it distorts very slightly.

    • The object either stretches slightly or compresses slightly,


    depending on whether it feels a tension or a compression force.
    What is Strain?
    • The change in the length of the strong object per
    unit of its original length.
    Hooke’s Law

    • F = force applied to the object (in the direction of distortion)


    • A = cross-sectional area of the object
    • Y = Young’s Modulus
    Resistance of the Wire

    • R = resistance of the wire in ohms


    • ρ = resistivity of the wire material
    • L = length of the wire
    • A = cross-sectional area of the wire
    Resistance of the Wire
    Resistance of the Wire

    • Stretch: • Compress :
    •R = Increase • R = Decrease
    •L = Increase • L = Decrease
    •A = Decrease • A = Increase
