Bending Beam - Half Bridge

Two active gages with equal and opposite strains -- typical of bending-beam arrangement.

 
Independent Variables

Elastic Modulus (lbf/in2, etc.),
Distance from Load (in, etc.),
Width (in, etc.),
Thickness (in, etc.),
Gage Factor (nondimensional),
 
Dependent Variable
Axial Strain (microstrain),
Bridge Output (mV/V),
