- Abstract
- The mission of the Aeronautical Structures Laboratory of the Naval Air Material Center, Philadelphia, PA, is to develop and evaluate aircraft structures, both in the laboratory and in flight. One of the more important tools in this work has been the bonded resistance wire strain gage. In recent years the increasingly higher temperatures to which airframes are subjected has necessitated a more detailed evaluation of the wire strain gage. In addition, the design of nuclear reactor structures and other new industrial and military projects has resulted in an increasing need for strain gages capable of measuring static strains at temperatures above 600 F. Very little had been accomplished by gage manufacturers or other laboratories in developng a gage suitable for measuring static strains at temperatures higher than 350 F.
