Measurements of Strain01:27

Measurements of Strain

1.8K
Strain quantifies the deformation of a material under force, typically measured as normal strain, which represents the change in length when compared with the original length. Electrical strain gauges are used for enhanced accuracy. These devices consist of a conductive wire mounted on a paper backing that adheres to the material's surface. These gauges operate on the piezoresistive effect, where the wire's electrical resistance changes in response to mechanical deformation. The strain...

Design Example: Strain Gauge Bridge or Wheatstone Bridge

473
The utilization of strain gauges as transducers for converting mechanical strain into electrical signals is a common practice in various engineering applications. These strain gauges are frequently integrated into Wheatstone bridge circuits to accurately measure parameters such as force or pressure. Within this context, each element within the circuit exhibits a resistance that undergoes subtle variations when subjected to mechanical strain. The primary objective is to convert minuscule...

Stress-Strain Diagram01:10

Stress-Strain Diagram

742
A stress-strain diagram is a crucial tool that graphically displays a material's mechanical characteristics. This diagram is derived from a tensile test performed on a carefully prepared cylindrical specimen. The specimen has two gauge marks inscribed on its central part, and the distance between these marks is known as the gauge length. The cylindrical specimen is placed in a testing machine, which applies an increasing centric load. As this load grows, so does the gauge length. This...

Pressure Gauges01:20

Pressure Gauges

3.9K
Most pressure gauges, like those on scuba tanks, are calibrated to read zero at atmospheric pressure. Readings from such gauges are called the gauge pressure, which is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. When the pressure inside the tank exceeds atmospheric pressure, the gauge reports a positive value. Some gauges are designed to measure negative pressure. For example, many physics experiments must take place in a vacuum chamber, a rigid chamber from which some of the air is pumped...

Shearing Strain01:20

Shearing Strain

555
The shearing strain represents a cubic element's angular change when subjected to shearing stress. This type of stress can transform a cube into an oblique parallelepiped without influencing normal strains. The cubic element experiences a significant transformation when exposed solely to shearing stress. Its shape alters from a perfect cube into a rhomboid, clearly demonstrating the effect of shearing strain. The degree of this strain is considered positive if it reduces the angle between...

Circular Shaft - Stresses in Linear Range01:13

Circular Shaft - Stresses in Linear Range

332
Consider a scenario where a circular shaft is subject to torque that remains within the boundaries of Hooke's Law, avoiding any permanent deformation. So, the formula for shearing strain is revisited. This formula is multiplied by the modulus of rigidity, and then Hooke's Law for the shearing stress and strain is applied. As a result, the equation for shearing stress in a shaft can be derived.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Silicon strain-gauge-based diaphragm pressure sensors traditionally use four single-gauge chips.
  • This configuration leads to increased glass frit and aluminum wire bonds, compromising long-term stability, reliability, and manufacturing yield.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new silicon strain gauge design for general-purpose pressure sensors.
  • The goal is to enhance sensor output voltage while minimizing the number of required bonds.

Main Methods:

  • Designed silicon strain gauges featuring grid patterns with reciprocating arcs of silicon piezoresistors on a thin glass backing.
  • Tested the developed pressure sensors across a pressure range of 0 to 50 bar and at five different temperatures.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a linear output with a typical sensitivity of approximately 16 mV/V/bar.
  • Observed an offset shift ranging from -6 mV to 2 mV.
  • Demonstrated easier handling during the bonding process due to the thin glass backing.

Conclusions:

  • The new arc strain gauge design offers improved performance and reliability for diaphragm pressure sensors.
  • This approach facilitates reduced bonding complexity and opens possibilities for half-bridge and full-bridge configurations, further minimizing bonds.
