Talk:Gauge factor

The gauge factor isn't dependent on the Wheatstone Bridge. I might change it later if I have time. Willplatts (talk) 12:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone know what the L and dL are in the second equation? If so, it should probably be included in the summary at the bottom of the page. Mattybhoy 69 (talk) 12:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delta L / L is just the strain rate epsilon. Delta L is the change in length, and L is the original length. I don't know LaTeX though, so I won't try to modify the page.

Sorry for modifying without notice. All information I provided is credited to Professor Neil White of University of Southampton. --Ibrahimyu (talk) 14:31, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't edited wikipedia in a long time... Noticed that this page should really explain how the gauge factor equation has contributions from the geometry changes but also the piezoresistive effect. The page for the piezoresistive effect even explains its contributions on gauge factors. We have the equation... but as far as most people who are vaguely familiar with how strain gauged work, the term 'delta rho over rho' should be zero... The fact that not all metal gauge factors are 1.6 refutes this. Why? Now we explain piezoresistive effect. Someone please do this so I don't break something. -Curran919 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.71.234.182 (talk) 00:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
