What is strain gages?

A strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force. It is used to measure strain on an object. Strain gauges are commonly used in applications such as measuring the load on a structural member, determining the stress within a material, or sensing pressure in a system. They work by detecting the deformation of a material to which they are attached, and converting that deformation into an electrical signal.
