Large Gage Patterns

The strain gage patterns listed below employ long measuring grids, and are most commonly used for special-purpose applications where strain averaging is desired. For example, when measuring strain in concrete it is usually the average strain that is sought rather than any severe local fluctuations in strain occurring at the interfaces between the aggregate particles and the cement. In general, for strain measurement on nonhomogeneous material it is preferable to select a gage length that is large with respect to the size of the inhomogeneity The large gage patterns listed below are well-suited to many of these applications.
