title: A technique for embedding strain gages within curing bone cement.
abstract: A technique has been described to embed strain gages within curing bone cement. Both open faced and encapsulated strain gages were employed. Using a simple cantilever beam in bending test, the experimentally measured strains were linear over the range of bending strains applied and in good agreement with the calculated theoretical values.
