Residual Stress Strain Gages

• The most widely used practical technique for determining residual stresses is the hole-drilling strain gage method described in ASTM Standard E837. With this method, a specially configured strain gage rosette is bonded to the surface of the test object; and a small, shallow hole is introduced into the structure, through the center of the gage, with a precision drilling apparatus. Strains in the immediate vicinity of the hole are measured, and the relaxed residual stresses are computed from these measurements.

Magnetic Field Strain Gages

• Intense, time-varying electromagnetic fields with steep gradients in field strength can cause troublesome noise in strain gage circuits. In severe magnetic environments, with low signal levels, the noise amplitude may be several times larger than the strain signal from the gage.
  Micro-Measurements H-Series noninductive strain gages have been specially designed to minimize noise pickup in the gage grid due to electromagnetic fields.

Weldable Strain Gages

• Micro-Measurements Standard Weldable Strain Gages and Temperature Sensors are specially designed for spot welding to structures and components. They are ideal for applications where test or environmental conditions preclude clamping and curing an adhesively bonded gage installation. These gages are equally advantageous
  when strain measurements must be made at an elevated temperature, but the nature of the test object does not permit the use of an elevated temperature-curing adhesive.

Shear Modulus Testing Strain Gages

• Shear Modulus Sensors are specifically designed to accommodate the unique specimen geometries and strain-field distributions encountered when testing
  composite materials for shear properties. Two popular specimens for in-plane shear modulus testing of composites are the Iosipescu and compact designs. The test section for both types is described as the
  area between two opposing notches.
