Abstract :
The major design features and performance characteristics of some components utilizing semiconductor strain gauges for flight-control-system applications are presented. Some of the practical considerations involved in the implementation of these devices to control applications are described. Techniques for designing for a long useful life are also presented, as well as performance data and environmental effects for several critical applications.
