Last Updated on January 24, 2021

The image above represents full bridge output voltage of circuit under strained condition.

To compute for full bridge output voltage of circuit under strained condition, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Gauge Factor (G_F), Strain (ε) and Input Supply Voltage (v_i).

The formula for calculating full bridge output voltage of circuit under strained condition:

v_o = G_F ε v_i

Where:

v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage
G_F = Gauge Factor
ε = Strain
v_i = Input Supply Voltage

Let’s solve an example;
Find the full bridge output voltage of circuit when the guage factor is 7, the strain is 4 and the input supply voltage is 3.

This implies that;

G_F = Gauge Factor = 7
ε = Strain = 4
v_i = Input Supply Voltage = 3

v_o = G_F ε v_i
v_o = 7 x 4 x 3
v_o = 84

Therefore, the full bridge output voltage of circuit is 84 V.

Calculating for Guage Factor when the Full Bridge Output Voltage of Circuit, the Strain and the Input Supply Voltage is Given.

G_F = ^v_o / _{ε . vi}

Where;

G_F = Gauge Factor
v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage
ε = Strain
v_i = Input Supply Voltage

Let’s solve an example;
Find the guage factor when the full bridge output voltage of circuit is 10, the strain is 5 and the input supply voltage is 8.

This implies that;

v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage =10
ε = Strain =  5
v_i = Input Supply Voltage = 8

G_F = ^v_o / _{ε . vi}
G_F = ¹⁰ / _{5 . 8}
G_F = ¹⁰ / ₄₀
G_F = 0.25

Therefore, the guage factor is 0.25.

Calculating for Strain when the Full Bridge Output Voltage of Circuit when the Guage Factor and the Input supply Voltage is Given.

ε =  ^v_o / _{GF . vi}

Where;

ε = Strain
v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage
G_F = Gauge Factor
v_i = Input Supply Voltage

Let’s solve an example;
Find the strain when the Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage is 20, the guage factor is 4 and the input supply voltage is 2.

This implies that;

v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage = 20
G_F = Gauge Factor = 4
v_i = Input Supply Voltage = 2

ε =  ^v_o / _{GF . vi}
ε = ²⁰ / _{4 . 2}
ε = ²⁰ / ₈
ε = 2.5

Therefore, the strain is 2.5.

Calculating for Input Supply Voltage when the Full Bridge Output Voltage of Circuit, Guage Factor  and Strain is Guage.

v_i =  ^v_o / _{GF . ε} 

Where;

v_i = Input Supply Voltage
v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage
G_F = Gauge Factor
ε = Strain

Let’s solve an example;
Find the input supply voltage when the full bridge output voltage of circuit is 18, the guage factor is 10 and the strain is 7.

This implies that;

v_o = Full Bridge Circuit Output Voltage = 18
G_F = Gauge Factor = 10
ε = Strain = 7

v_i =  ^v_o / _{GF . ε} 
v_i = ¹⁸ / _{10 . 7}
v_i = ¹⁸ / ₇₀
v_i = 0.257

Therefore, the input supply is 0.257.
