Abstract
An example device includes a flexural element, a bendable carrier element, and a plurality of strain gages. The flexural element includes a plurality of surfaces, such as a planar surface and a perimeter surface. The bendable carrier element is shaped in order to conform to the plurality of surfaces of the flexural element when the carrier element is bent around the flexural element. The plurality of strain gages are attached to the carrier element when the carrier element is flat. Furthermore, the plurality of strain gages are positioned along the plurality of surfaces of the flexural element when the carrier element is bent around the flexural element to conform to the plurality of surfaces of the flexural element and the carrier element is attached to the flexural element.
