The strain gauges should have a high value of gauge factor,
Base materials
Strain gauges
Bonded metal foil strain gauges
Strain gauges
Bonded metal foil strain gauges use identical materials to wire
strain gauges and are used today for most general purpose
stress analysis application
Foil gauges are formed from sheets less than 0.005 mm thick .

Rosettes
A combination of strain gauges.
In practical situation, it is not possible to locate the
principal stresses.
It is not possible to orient the strain gauges along the
direction of principle stresses.
Hence there is a necessary to evolve a strain gauge
measurement system which measures the values of
principle strain and stresses without actually knowing
their directions.

Temperature compensation
Poisson's method
This temp. compensation utilizes two active gauges Rg1
and Rg3 which are bonded at right angles to the structure
member .
Rg1 is in tension , but the gauge Rg3 reduces in length
depending up o the poissons ratio, in the adjacent arm of
the bride.
The output of the bridge circuit is increased by a factor of
(1+)

Temperature compensation
Self temp. compensation
In many applications it may be difficult to obtain temp.
compensation by adjacent arm compensating gauge acting
either as a dummy gauge or a compensating gauge.
This case may arise , where it is not possible to keep the
gauge s at the same temp.
Two type of self compensated gauges
(1)Selected melt gauge
Based up on the fact that through proper manipulation of
alloy and processing , usually cold working, some control
over temp. sensitivity of the grid material may be obtained.

Load cells
Device that can be used for force measurement .
An elastic member is used as a primary transducer and
strain gauges a secondary transducer.
The factors which are considered in the design of load
cells using strain gauges are stiffness of elastic member ,
optimum positioning of gauges on the element and
provision for temp. compensation.
Tensile compressive cell
The arrangement uses four strain gauges each mounted at
90 to each other.
Two strain gauges experience tensile stresses while other
two are subjected to compressive stress.
