Recent Elastomeric Strain Transducer Developments

Abstract

The development of the elastomeric strain gage has progressed through two stages and is well into the third stage. With the validation of the strain transducer concept, a second stage of effort was initiated in which a strain gage was designed, cast and tested. The results of this work effort further demonstrated the practicality of the gage; however, certain undesirable gage features such as low nominal resistance and low sensitivity became apparent. The third stage of development effort has been under way and has produced some noted improvements in the elastomeric gage. These are presented in the report. (Author)
