Experimental stress analysis is an important tool in the overall design and development of machinery and structures. While analytical techniques and computer solutions are available during the design stage, the results are still dependent on many assumptions that must be made in order to adapt them to the problems at hand. One popular method of finding structural and design weaknesses is through the use of the electrical resistance strain gage. These devices are relatively low in cost, easily applied by a reasonably skilled technician, and require little investment in instrumentation (for the general user), yet they yield a wealth of information in a relatively short time period. The information and its validity is, of course, dependent on the training and knowledge of the engineer who plans the tests and reduces the data. In addition to serving as a reference for engineers, this practical, instructive book has a high potential as a textbook for senior and first-year graduate students in engineering and related fields, such as engineering physics and geology. A solutions manual is available to instructors using the book as a text.

Das vorliegende Buch ist ein umfassendes grundlegendes Kompendium über Dehnungsmessstreifen (DMS) und ihre Anwendung in der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik sowie in allen Bereichen des Ingenieurwesens. Es deckt sowohl die theoretischen als auch die praktischen Aspekte der Spannungsanalyse mithilfe von Dehnungsmessstreifen ab. Ein historischer Rückblick auf die Erfindung und Entwicklung von DMS fasst das "Wer, Wann und Wie" zusammen. Die umfassende Bibliographie führt zu zusätzlichen Hintergrundinformationen. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Spannungsanalyse zur Bestimmung der mechanischen Eigenschaften, der Tragfähigkeit und der Gebrauchstauglichkeit von Bauteilen sowie zur Planung von Monitoring und Inspektionen. Die richtige Planung und Auswertung von Messungen und die Algorithmen zur Ermittlung von Spannungen werden aufgezeigt und die Interpretation von Ergebnissen erläutert. Dabei schöpft der Autor für die praxisorientierten Beschreibungen der Messprinzipien, der Messanordnungen und der Versuchsreihen aus seinem reichen Erfahrungsschatz. Das Buch enthält eine Anzahl realer Anwendungsbeispiele mit detaillierten Anleitungen, die als Vorbilder für die Lösung ähnlicher Aufgaben betrachtet werden können. Kommentare helfen, typische Fehler und Fehlversuche zu vermeiden. Das Buch ist ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Fachleute, die Bauteile analysieren und Messungen planen müssen, die zu zuverlässigen Ergebnissen führen. Das Buch ist lehrreich für Praktiker, die zuverlässige Messkreise installieren und die Ergebnisse beurteilen müssen. Das Buch empfiehlt sich auch für Anfänger, um sich mit den Problemen vertraut zu machen und die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Dehnungsmesstechnik kennen zu lernen.

This book presents recent advances in the design, fabrication and implementation of flexible printed sensors. It explores a range of materials for developing the electrode and substrate parts of the sensors, on the basis of their electrical and mechanical characteristics. The sensors were processed using laser cutting and 3D printing techniques, and the sensors developed were employed in a number of healthcare, environmental and industrial applications, including: monitoring of physiological movements, respiration, salinity and nitrate measurement, and tactile sensing. The type of sensor selected for each application depended on its dimensions, robustness and sensitivity. The sensors fabricated were also embedded in an IoT-based system, allowing them to be integrated into real-time applications.

Part I introduces the basic “Principles and Methods of Force Measurement” according to a classification into a dozen of force transducerstypes: resistive, inductive, capacitive, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, electrodynamic, magnetoelastic, galvanomagnetic (Hall-effect), vibrating wires, (micro)resonators, acoustic and gyroscopic. Two special chapters refer to force balance techniques and to combined methods in force measurement. Part II discusses the “(Strain Gauge) Force Transducers Components”, evolving from the classical force transducer to the digital / intelligent one, with the incorporation of three subsystems (sensors, electromechanics and informatics). The elastic element (EE) is the “heart” of the force transducer and basically determines its performance. A 12-type elastic element classification is proposed (stretched / compressed column or tube, bending beam, bending and/or torsion shaft, middle bent bar with fixed ends, shear beam, bending ring, yoke or frame, diaphragm, axial-stressed torus, axisymmetrical and voluminous EE), with emphasis on the optimum place of the strain gauges. The main properties of the associated Wheatstone bridge, best suited for the parametrical transducers, are examined, together with the appropriate electronic circuits for SGFTs. The handbook fills a gap in the field of Force Measurement, both experts and newcomers, no matter of their particular interest, finding a lot of useful and valuable subjects in the area of Force Transducers; in fact, it is the first specialized monograph in this inter- and multidisciplinary field.
