Strain gauges are precision sensors designed to measure the amount of strain or deformation experienced by an object when subjected to external forces. They play a critical role in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, by providing accurate data on structural integrity and material behaviour. Strain gauges convert mechanical deformation into a measurable electrical signal, making them essential tools for monitoring stress and ensuring safety in applications where structural health is paramount. They provide crucial insights into how materials and structures respond to stress, enabling engineers and researchers to predict failures, optimise designs, and ensure the longevity and safety of components.
