Workshop - Advanced Strain Gauge Applications
University of Southampton
March 2009
Chairs: Ian Ramage, TechniMeasure and Geoff Morden, BSSM
With several other more sophisticated methods of measuring strain now available, it is interesting to note that the humble strain gauge is still being used today in many different applications.
A seminar highlighting the various uses of strain gauge technology today is of interest not only to those already aware of strain gauge applications, but also to those looking for answers to their measurement problems. The BSSM brought together some of the leading people in the strain gauge field to offer a thought provoking yet practical insight into the advanced use of strain gauges in the modern world.
