What is meant by carrier material in strain gauge?
Strain gauge is a type of transducer which can convert
mechanical changes(Expansion and condensing) into a resistance
changes.
The resistance changes because mechanical changes change length and
cross sectional area of the Strain gauge wire.
But the wire used in Strain gauge (Strain gauge wire) is brittle in
nature, that’s why carrier material is used to protect the strain
gauge wire from any damage.
Main purpose of carrier material is
a. To give protection to strain gauge wire.
b. To give support to the strain gauge wire.
Main properties of Carrier material
a. Strong enough.
b. Non-hygroscopic.
c. Should not change with temperature changes.
d. Thin.

A 120 Ω strain gauge with a gauge factor of 2 is mounted on a beam and connected in a Wheatstone bridge as shown in Figure Q1a. The bridge is powered by a 12 V DC supply in series with a 510 Ω resistance. The beam is subject to a tensile force, which produces an axial strain of 940 microstrain measured by the strain gauge .a) Under no strain, calculate the current in the strain gauge and the power dissipated by the...
