N-SHAPED AXISYMMETRIC ELASTIC ELEMENTS FOR STRAIN GAUGED FORCE TRANSDUCERS
Dan-Mihai Stefanescu
Abstract:
Only few types of flexible structures are recommended for measuring very large forces. The axisymmetrical ones are best suited in this respect, their maximum strain gauge (tensometrical) sensitivity being ensured in bending. The force transducer body is easy to design by 2D finite element method (FEM) and easy to manufacture. Numerical investigations on various models of N-shaped strain gauged elastic elements are presented together with their advantages in the field of force measurements.
