Al. Smith et Dj. Mee, DYNAMIC STRAIN-MEASUREMENT USING PIEZOELECTRIC POLYMER FILM, Journal of strain analysis for engineering design, 31(6), 1996, pp. 463-465
Piezoelectric polymers have been used to form the basis of dynamic str
ain gauges for the detection of stress waves. The linearity of respons
e was tested using a split Hopkinson pressure bar arrangement. The res
ults obtained illustrate the effectiveness of piezoelectric film strai
n gauges in the measurement of axial stress waves.
