Part I introduces the basic "Principles and Methods of Force
Measurement" according to a classification into a dozen of force
transducers types: resistive, inductive, capacitive, piezoelectric,
electromagnetic, electrodynamic, magnetoelastic, galvanomagnetic
(Hall-effect), vibrating wires, (micro)resonators, acoustic and
gyroscopic. Two special chapters refer to force balance techniques
and to combined methods in force measurement. Part II discusses the
"(Strain Gauge) Force Transducers Components", evolving from the
classical force transducer to the digital / intelligent one, with
the incorporation of three subsystems (sensors, electromechanics
and informatics). The elastic element (EE) is the "heart" of the
force transducer and basically determines its performance. A
12-type elastic element classification is proposed (stretched /
compressed column or tube, bending beam, bending and/or torsion
shaft, middle bent bar with fixed ends, shear beam, bending ring,
yoke or frame, diaphragm, axial-stressed torus, axisymmetrical and
voluminous EE), with emphasis on the optimum location of the strain
gauges. The main properties of the associated Wheatstone bridge,
best suited for the parametrical transducers, are examined,
together with the appropriate electronic circuits for SGFTs. The
handbook fills a gap in the field of Force Measurement, both
experts and newcomers, no matter of their particular interest,
finding a lot of useful and valuable subjects in the area of Force
Transducers; in fact, it is the first specialized monograph in this
inter- and multidisciplinary field.
