Strain Gages

Abstract

This article reviews strain and stress and their relationship. It also discusses the various types of strain gages in detail.

Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology

“…In vitro methods have been used in biomechanical research for assessing deformation patterns of mandibles Daegling and Hotzman, 2003), and in clinical and biomedical research for assessing the effects that prosthetic instruments have on bone surface strains (Yamashita et al, 2006;Dechow and Wang, 2006). Some of the difficulties in attempting to address strain in and around craniofacial sutures in the studies of living primates can be resolved using an in vitro approach.…”
