Academic Classes

Program

In this elaborated introduction to strain gauge measurements, the purpose is to introduce the students to the basics of strain gauges with a large enough amount of information so they know what to expect in a real life working environment.

When I started as an engineer I got introduced to strain gauges by my colleagues just a couple of days before having to install a strain gauge myself  in the field. You may imagine that this was quite a challenge to perform a qualitative installation with only a brief introduction I just received. Therefore now as a trainer in strain gauge installations I offer these introductions through the Strain Academy with the goal of passing on the necessary basics there where it is the most fruitfull, to academic people.

During this 2 - 3 hour session the students will be introduced to what a strain gauge is, what the applications are, how to measure a strain gauge, what to pay attention to when installing a gauge and what different types of forces we can measure with different installation setups. We bring this in a playful way with lots of anecdotes out of the field and small demo tests with actual measurements!
