<strong>Strain</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> Measurement Introduction:be infinitely rigid <strong>and</strong> side-wall bending will occur especially in the case <strong>of</strong>high-pressure sensor designs. For this reason, the calculations given are bestused as an initial estimation <strong>of</strong> the strains that will result for a given diaphragmthickness, diameter, <strong>and</strong> pressure loading.DeÞnitions: With reference to Figure 1-55.W = Total load in pounds forcew = Pounds per square inch (psi) where: W = wpa 2m = 1/n where n is PoissonÕs ratiot = Diaphragm thicknessE = YoungÕs Modulusa = Diaphragm radiusr = <strong>The</strong> distance from the diaphragm centere = s/E (strain)y c = Center <strong>of</strong> diaphragm deflection at maximum loadFIGURE 1-55.
