Stress, Strain and Strain Gauges is a textbook developed to support an eight-week, 64-hour training course of product development test technicians in the agricultural seeding and harvesting implement production and assembly industry. Prerequisite to successful use of this text is an understanding and the ability to functionally apply Algebra and Trigonometry. An introduction to DC circuit electronic concepts, specifically series voltage divider and bridge circuits, will also prove beneficial. The participants involved in the instructional program supported by this text will be receiving sophomore year engineering technology credit for successful course completion.

This is a first edition text. Future editions will include more detailed information and application problems involving the various types of available strain gauges as this text only includes applied forces of a tensile and compressive nature although torque applications are referenced throughout the text.
