Sheet Second April 2012

This document contains information about various strain gage applications and circuit configurations. It discusses Wheatstone bridge circuits for measuring strain, including constant voltage and constant current configurations. It also describes different types of load cells such as link, beam, ring, and torque cells. Formulas are provided for relating strain measurements to forces and stresses based on the device geometry and materials. Filter circuits are mentioned for conditioning strain gage signals.
