Performance Tests of Wire Strain Gages 5: Error in Indicated Bending Strains in Thin Sheet Metal Due to Thickness and Rigidity of Gage

Description: Note presenting the results of tests to determine the combined effects of rigidity and thickness of wire strain gages on indicated bending strains in thin sheet metal for 15 types of single-element multistrand wire strain gages. In most cases, the indicated extreme-fiber bending strain was greater than the actual strain. The positive error caused by the finite thickness of the gage predominated over the negative error caused by the rigidity of the gage.
