The Bonded Electrical Resistance Strain Gage

The late William M. Murray was Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Murray was the founder and President of the International Society for Experimental Mechanics. William R. Miller is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toledo. He has taught in the area of mechanical design and its allied subjects, and has served as a consultant to a number of companies.

• Fundamental concepts for strain gages; Stress-strain analysis and stress-strain relations; Elementary circuits; The potentiometric circuit; Wheatstone bridge; Sensitivity variation; Lateral effects in strain gages; Strain gage rosettes and data analysis; Strain gage rosettes and transverse sensitivity effect; Stress gages; Temperature effects on strain gages; Transducers; Strain gage selection and application; Answers to selected problems.

"Bonded Electrical Resistance Strain Gage has many very good examples and a good selection of problems, 154 altogether, with answers to about half. The typography, format, and illustrations are excellent. I enjoyed reading this book and working many of the problems, and recommend the book not only as a text for an introductory course on electrical resistance strain gages, but as a useful reference for engineers and experimentalists involved in the applicationof strain gages. It should certainly be in every engineering library." --Applied Mechanics Review"Bonded Electrical Resistance Strain Gage has many very good examples and a good selection of problems, 154 altogether, with answers to about half.
