A quarter-bridge type II has the following characteristics:
•
One active strain-gauge element and one passive, temperature-sensing
quarter-bridge element (dummy gauge). The active element is
mounted in the direction of axial or bending strain. The dummy gauge
is mounted in close thermal contact with the strain specimen, but not
bonded to the specimen, and is usually mounted transverse
(perpendicular) to the principle axis of strain.
•
This configuration is often confused with the half-bridge type I
configuration, with the difference being that in the half-bridge type I
configuration the R
3
element is active and bonded to the strain
specimen to measure the effect of Poisson’s ratio.
•
Completion resistors provide half-bridge completion.
•
Compensates for specimen temperature variation.
