The purpose of this study was to design a dual-axis load cell that is suitable for measuring force load in kayak paddling. We used Finite Element Method (FEM) to analyze the change in stain profile of the dual axis load cell under different loading condition by alternating different strain gage placements for measuring the effects on coupled force and maximum strain output for determining the optimal placement sites of strain gage for designing the dual-axis load cell. The results of this study indicated that the size and placement sites were suitable for measuring force load in kayak paddling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
