Strain Gauges
Example: Bone has a Young’s modulus E of about 100,000 psi. 10 psi of stress will stretch a 20 inch femur
Compare to F = K*Δx …
Hooke’s Law

Consider incompressible material (constant volume…)
Transverse Strain and Poisson’s ratio
What to expect on the strain gauge quiz:

Given stress, Young’s modulus, gain, Vex, Poisson’s ratio, calculate Vout…
Another deformation: torsional twist

What about the piezoresistivity term?It is normally not zero. In fact for some semiconductors it dominates the expression on the right of the equation. For metals, with a Poisson ratio around 0.3, nonzero piezoresistivity of 0.4*ε basically results in approx:
In the Strain Gage Quiz the gauge factor will be 2.

Unknown material properties vs strain gauge material properties:
Gauge factor: of the strain gaugePoisson’s ratio: of the unknownstrain: of the unknownYoung’s modulus = Ym… Young’s modulus: of the unknown > Ym of SG
Next consider a Wheatstone bridgemade with 4 strain gauges… Two voltage dividers to consider:
That is the term to finish the expression for Vout = G*Vex*ΔR/4R for one longitudinal strain gauge in a "positive" location in the bridge.
