The V7.0 release of DATS, the long-established signal analysis software from Prosig, contains a comprehensive fatigue analysis package for stress-life, strain-life and weld-life prediction. Prosig also design and manufacture a range of P8000 data acquisition systems for gathering strain data, which means that they are able to supply a total solution from [...]

Strain Gauges Explained

James Wren — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:21:06 +0000

A strain gauge is an electrical sensor which is used to accurately measure strain in a test piece. Strain gauges are usually based on a metallic foil pattern. The gauge is attached to the test piece with a special adhesive. As the test piece is deformed, so the adhesive deforms equally and thus the strain gauge [...]

Fatigue & Durability Testing

The following application note describes the test and measurement process for the fatigue testing and development cycle of a component. Strain gauges were used to monitor the strain levels in a particular suspension component. The component had been known to fail at various intervals. A predicted life for the component was required to analyze the feasibility [...]
