Strain gages

March 4th, 2009

rekstrook.jpgThe past week our team has produced our insert for the suspension geometry. More than half of the car is going to be monitored by using strain gages at the inserts. With these strain gages, we can read all the forces in our suspension. This allows us to improve our car set-up, understand our tyres better and further improve our design for next year’s car.

The strain gages were sponsored by and applied to our inserts at NLR, one of our key sponsors. We, again, want to thank NLR for this opportunity and the help and knowledge they supply. To the right you can see one of our inserts, complete with strain gauges.
