Abstract

This chapter covers the arrangement of strain gauges from metals as well as from doped silicon on circular and square membranes and includes the effect of the shape change of membranes occurring when they are deflected. The calculations presented here will help when the deflection of membranes is to be measured especially for pressure sensors.
