Resistance • Resistance is Resistivity (r) times L/A
Definition of Strain • percent of length • unitless
Strain Gage • Change of resistance with change in length along active axis
Bridge Circuit • Two voltage dividers • Output voltage is labeled VO
Strain Gage Circuit • Tension makes RG+DR higher • Compression makes RG-DR lower • Force F makes VO+ lower in voltage
Strain Gage Amplifier • Note Differential Amplifier • Some elements of bridge with amplifier
Switched-Capacitor Amp. Residue Amplifier
