    Research outputpeer-review

    Abstract

    A short review is presented of the different degradation mechanisms of strain gauges under ionizing radiation, corresponding to the different types of application in nuclear environments. The available experimental results are summarized. Particular attention is given to the assessment work still needed for small bonded gauges to be used in accurate force sensors for remotely controlled manipulators used in maintenance and refurbishing operations.
