Optimise strain gauge placement.
When using strain gauges to measure structural loads, the choice of locations for attaching the gauges has a substantial impact on the error in your data. Especially when a structure is complex and exposed to multiple load cases, the chosen locations can make the difference between useless data and high quality load signals.
Prioritise which load cases should have the highest quality data with minimum error.
Find the strain gauge locations which will give the best data about the prioritised load cases.
Make sure that the test setup will give useful data before investing time and money.
