What is strain gauges?

A strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force. It is used to measure strain on an object. Commonly, strain gauges are adhered to a material and measure the deformation of the material under stress. This information is used in various applications, including measuring the weight, pressure, tension, and mechanical stress in different structures and machines.
