Microstrain, and Grain Orientation.
As is well known, sharpening is an indication of increase in crystallite dimension and/or reduction in
microstrain [29].
The installed unit combines a custom titanium alloy total knee replacement from DePuy Johnson and Johnson, Warsaw, IN, and a microminiature sensor package from
MicroStrain, Williston, VT.
There are usually two steps--removing the instrumental contribution (deconvolution), and determining the broadening contribution in terms of crystallite size and
microstrain.
Strains range from 5
microstrain for vehicle loadings up to a few percent for soil movements.
The disadvantage of piezoelectrics is that they have low activation strains and a low ultimate stress; they break at about 700
microstrain.
21 August 2012 a[euro]" US vibration control and adhesive products supplier LORD Corporation said it had entered into an agreement to acquire
MicroStrain Inc without volunteering information on price.
The 3DM-GX3 -45 miniature GPS/INS from
Microstrain (Williston, VT) combines MEMS inertial sensors, a highly-sensitive GPS receiver, and a complex Extended Kalman Filter to generate optimal position, velocity, and attitude (PVA) estimates.
With the introduction of the 3DM-GX3 Series of inertial sensors,
MicroStrain entered its fourth generation of inertial MEMs products starting with the 3DM-G, 3DM-GX1, and 3DM-GX2 Series.
Therefore piezo film demonstrates phenomenal sensitivity to dynamic strain, typically in the region of 10 to 15 mV per
microstrain (ppm change in length) for 28 [micro]m thickness PVDF.
MicroStrain offers several wireless strain gauge-based data acquisition systems that are good examples of the power/speed trade-off.
