Spring 2014
Static and dynamic characterization was performed on a prototype piezoresistive silicon MEMS strain sensor. Static tests showed the MEMS sensor’s gauge factor ranged from 10-13, which is higher than a foil gauge’s gauge factor. Power measurements at -20 C, 24 C, and 80 C showed that the average...
