They operate on a simple physical property of materials: The measured resistance of a material depends on its length and cross-sectional area. A material under an applied force is said to be under ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...
