Sa. Antipov et Ai. Drozhzhin, METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SENSITIVITY OF UNBONDED SILICON-WHISKER RESISTANCE-STRAIN GAUGES, Industrial laboratory, 60(2), 1994, pp. 129-130
A method for measuring the sensitivity (gauge factor) of resistance st
rain gauges is proposed. Strain measurements are made with the use of
unbonded resistance strain gauges, thus excluding the effect of hyster
esis and creep of the binder on the accuracy of determining the gauge
factor. Silicon whiskers are practically undamaged in the test.
