Episode 126 of the Professor Alex Volinsky podcast. Conventional foil strain gauges top out at a few percent strain and fatigue under cycling. Printed conductive inks on elastic polymer films stretch with the host into the tens-of-percent, repeated-loading regime of soft robotics and wearable sensors. No gauge factors are claimed from this paper. Based on the paper: Strain Gauges Capable of Measuring Large Cyclical Deformations Printed on Elastic Polymer Films; A.P. Kondratov, V. Yakubov, A.A. Volinsky; Measurement, 2020, Vol. 166, article 108107. Hosts Elena and Marcus. AI-generated voices.
