Strain Gauge Installation on Plastics and Fiber Composites

Due to the higher strains and special requirements of the adhesive technology, special skills are required for the installation of strain gauges on plastic materials or fiber composites. In this seminar, you will acquire the right know-how to do this. 

The trend towards lightweight construction is stimulating the use of plastic materials and fiber composites. This leads to new challenges for the use of strain gauges. Are you part of this user community? If so, we heartily recommend this advanced seminar dealing with strain gauge installation on plastic materials.

During the seminar we integrate – even online quite practically - a sample test bench into the software. Thus, you already have a first practical experience for the further development of your individual test application. HBK Academy ONLINE courses are delivered in real-time with an instructor available to answer questions.

Topics included

• Selecting components for installation on plastic materials and fiber composites
• Surface preparation for strain gauge installation
• Strain behavior and temperature response
• Selecting strain gauges
• Choosing adhesives and covering materials
• In the practical part you will install SGs on the following materials:
• Acrylic glass (as an example of thermoplastics)
• High-temperature plastic
• Carbon fiber composite
• Fiberglass composite
• Printed circuit boards (FR-4)

Target Group

Users from all technical fields who would like to reliably install strain gauge measuring points on plastic materials and fiber composites

Requirements

It is a good idea to take Course "Installation of Strain Gauges (SG 1)" first, but it is not mandatory.
