Abstract

Narrow openings have often complicated the bonding of strain gages because of the physical restrictions of the working area. A simple method has been devised to overcome this limitation by using a mock-up of the surface to which the gages will be bonded. The gages are bonded to the mock-up and then transferred to the surface of the member to be stressed. The technique was developed for use inisde pipes; however, it is directly applicable to many types of irregular configurations with limited access.
