Abstract
An integrated strain gauge assembly including at least one strain gauge having an adhesive adhered to a surface thereof and a flexible printed circuit board fixed to the at least one strain gauge. A method for mounting a strain gauge assembly onto a surface of an article the strain of which it is desired to monitor and/or measure.
Claims18
An integrated strain gauge assembly comprising:
- at least one strain gauge having an adhesive adhered to a surface thereof;
- and
- a flexible printed circuit board fixed to said at least one strain gauge,
- said flexible printed circuit board being formed with at least one window at least partially overlying said at least one strain gauge.
