Question

Problem 19. Figure 46 shows a micro-miniature cantilever beam with four strain gauges mounted. All are active gauges. Show how the gauges are wired into a bridge circuit to provide temperature compensation. If each gauge has the same gauge factor, derive an equation for the bridge off- null voltage as a function of strain.

Step 1

All four gauges are active gauges, meaning they change their resistance with strain. The goal is to wire these gauges into a bridge circuit to provide temperature compensation. Show more…

Problem 19 Figure 46 shows a micro-miniature cantilever beam with four strain gauges mounted. All are active gauges. Show how the gauges are wired into a bridge circuit to provide temperature compensation. If each gauge has the same gauge factor, derive an equation for the bridge off null voltage as a function of strain. C and D are on the bottom. FIGURE 46: Four-gauge system for Problem 19.
