Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- To measure the stress on the metal beam, engineers attached a strain gage to its surface.
- The strain gage reading indicated a high level of deformation in the material during the experiment.
- By analyzing the data from the strain gage, researchers were able to identify the fracture point in the specimen.
- The precise readings from the strain gage allowed the team to optimize the material's performance under different conditions.
- installation of the strain gage on the surface of the sample involved careful calibration to ensure accurate measurements.
