We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

A strain gauge is used to measure the strain on an object. It is a very thin, flat coil of conductive wire. (Editor's note: strain “gauge” is often spelled as “gage”; why this is so, and which is ...

The Wheatstone Bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure unknown resistances by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit. This device is fundamental in various applications, including sensor ...

Adjust resistor values and see how the bridge balances! st.image("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Wheatstonebridge.svg/300px ...

Abstract: In this paper, the fabrication of monolithic Wheatstone bridge circuit on piezoresistive microcantilever sensor is presented. The development of the device is realized through silicon ...

Many conventional strain gages are similar in appearance to Figure 1. A serpentine pattern etched into a metal foil creates a relatively high resistance in a small space. The foil is bonded to a thin ...
