Axial Column - 2 Gages In Opposite Arms

Two active gages with equal strains of the same sign -- used on opposite sides of column with low thermal gradient (bending cancellation, for instance.)

 
Independent Variables
(Units for load and dimensions must coincide with those for elastic modulus.)
Load (lbf, etc.),
Elastic Modulus (lbf/in2, etc.),
Width (in, etc.),
Thickness (in, etc.),
Gage Factor (nondimensional),
 
Dependent Variable
Axial Strain (microstrain),
Bridge Output (mV/V),
