Abstract

See full text

A load can be applied to a beam and a property of the load can be calculated. In one example, a first shear gauge can be configured for positioning on a neutral axis of a beam on one side of a force that the beam is subjected to. Similarly, a second shear gauge can be configured for positioning on the neutral axis of the beam on an opposite side of the force to the first shear gauge. A calculator can be configured to identify a characteristic of the force through use of an output of the first shear gauge and through use of an output of the second shear gauge.
