Balancing strain gauge bridges
Abstract
A strain-gauge bridge network comprising binary-weighted resistors, i.e., successive resistors have a two to one ratio, interconnected by links which can be severed in situ to provide a required balance for the bridge network, is proposed. The network is suitable for balancing strain gauge bridges attached to piles anchoring offshore platforms.
