LONDON — Researchers from the Weizmann Institute for Science (Rehovot, Israel) and the University of London have discovered a new way of measuring internal pressure in materials at both microscopic ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

A common test for car chassis and body panels is to measure the force and distance. Potentiometer strain gauge-based testing is used for this purpose where a custom-built test jig is employed to ...

Researchers have developed a novel wearable strain sensor based on the modulation of optical transmittance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded elastomer. The sensor is capable of sensitive, stable, ...

Many applications use a manufacturing process known as thin-film sputtering deposition. The typical sputtering process uses an ion beam to impact the surface of a sputter material such as gold, silver ...

Strain can be defined as the deformation of a material resulting from applied force, and it is measured by change in length. It can be either compressive or tensile. A strain gauge is a device that ...

The levels of mechanicalstrain most typically measured with strain gauges are very small and precise.Consequently, changes in resistance are also very small and thus cannot bemeasured directly with an ...

Twist, bend and stretch The new stretchable sensor can detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The patterned cuts enable large deformation without ...

(Yicai) Dec. 23 -- Fourier's recently launched six-axis force sensor for humanoid robots will be priced at just half of what ...
