Practical Application of Strain Gauge Alloys

Strain gauges are ideal for verifying stress and displacement simulation models.  The strain measurements are taken at specific locations and correlated with the simulation results.

Modeling assumptions such as boundary conditions, contacts, and loads may be updated to make the simulation better fit the observed behavior.

Once the model accurately reflects the measurements, more detailed information about the system can be inferred.

In addition, simulations of the modified system can be used to predict behavior with confidence.

SimuTech Group specializes in both strain gage measurement as well as simulation, allowing seamless support when conducting investigations.
