Bending Beam - Half Poisson Bridge


       

Because the longitudinal gage and the transverse "Poisson" gage are in adjacent arms, the resistance changes of thermal origins will be cancelled in this version when both active gages and the specimen experience like changes in temperature. The bridge output is increased by a factor of approximately ( ) and the nonlinearity is reduced to approximately [ ] % per each 1000 microstrain of longitudinal strain.
