The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...

The short answer that [ari kardasis] comes up with in the video below is… sort of. With the help of a wonderfully complex array of strain gauges and a Raspberry Pi, he found that the story isn’t so ...

An improved strain-gauge dendrometer was tested on apple (Pyrus malus L.) tree trunks and fruit to measure thickness dynamics. The sensor is similar to previous devices, but is more flexible allowing ...
