2.25 Strain gauges Consider the derivation of Equation 2.26 for metal strain gauges. Is the equation the same if the cross section that is a rectangle with dimensions a x b instead of a circular area of diam eter D? Does this equation depend on the shape of the cross section? What would be the advantage of using a gauge made from thin film strips on a carrier substrate that could be bonded to the structure under test? How important is the substrate in strain measurements?
