Specimens
Biaxial Strain Gages
Strain Indicators
gages on top of beam (compression side)
channel 1: axial gage (negative strain)
channel 2: transverse gage (positive strain)
gages on bottom of beam (tension side)
channel 1: axial gage (positive strain)
channel 2: transverse gage (negative strain)
These are quarter-bridge setups,
where each gage is wired
between P+ and S-, and a jumper
runs between S- and D120.
