The discussion centers on the application of strain gauges in a rectifier circuit, specifically addressing the confusion surrounding the voltage divider concept and the resulting voltage calculations. The participant questions the validity of the formulas provided, particularly when substituting a strain value of 1450 x 10^-6 for ΔL/L, which yields inconsistent ΔV results. The need for a circuit diagram is emphasized to clarify the application of these formulas, as the solutions provided by the professor do not align with the textbook material.
PREREQUISITESStudents in electrical engineering, circuit designers, and anyone involved in the practical application of strain gauges in electronic circuits.
I guess that's why I don't understand whoever wrote this.scottdave said:
Our professor gave us a solution since the assignment isn't collected. (Among the 50 or so problems, I haven't found errors--but some of the problems are not from our book, and several solution's equations are not in the book or lecture.)scottdave said:
