Engineering Measurement Technology 3.2.2　Strain Gauges A typical strain gauge consists of a metal foil, photo-etched to form a serpentine pattern, and mounted on a resin backing film. This is then attached to the structure to be monitored with adhesive. We know that for a conductor of uniform area, the resistance is given by, where is the resistivity(cm ohm), l is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area. Under a strain, the change in R is For a wire, the change of area is quite small, A can be viewed as a constant Working principle The fractional change of R is of more interest, so we
