Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Dr. Wes Womack, Director of Engineering from Epsilon Technology talks to AZoM about non-contact strain measurements for materials testing and how to make measurements accurate and consistent to avoid ...

Durability of components under dynamic load can be increased by understanding the origin of the stress and strain distribution. While numerical simulations based on finite element (FE) models can help ...

Most strain gage measurements are plagued with offset drift and noise. This app note shows how to use an ac signal to excite the bridge, which produces a dc output proportional to the strain. To view ...
