We need to know the type of material to which you plan to bond the sensor to in order to select the proper thermal compensation or modulus compensation.
One of the first steps in selecting a strain...

Full-fledged straingagers aren’t born; they need to be nurtured by teachers and mentors from their very first laboratory experiment and throughout their careers.
That’s why University of MN...
