This lecture introduces the concept of strain gauge measurements, focusing on measuring strain using gauge factors and Wheatstone bridges. It covers practical measurements, gauge positioning, calibration methods, and the use of strain gauges to monitor various loads. The instructor explains how to select and position strain gauges to measure forces and moments accurately, and demonstrates the calibration process to convert voltage measurements into physical forces and moments.
