Hello,
I am doing a project where I have 4 strain gages (in a full bridge Wheatstone configuration) and I am continuously recording their output voltages. These strain gages have been installed on an aluminum bar and are recording bending. My question is how to I convert the output voltage that I am recording into an actual force in, say Newtons or pounds? I am aware of the equations to get Vo and the gage factor, but is there a way to convert that information into an actual force measurement like N or lbs? Thank you very much for any help.
