The Western Regional Strain Gage Committee (WRSGC) is a Technical Division of the National Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM).

  The purpose of the committee is to promote a free interchange that explores:

• State-of-the-art strain gage research
• Development and application of strain gages in all environments
• Strain measurement techniques
• Strain gage based transducers
• Associated signal conditioning
• Connecting techniques
• Data acquisition and handling systems
• Computer applications and associated software for testing using strain gages

  The Western Regional Strain Gage Committee (WRSGC)consists of members from companies and government agencies mostly in the Western United States. Our members include Major Aircraft Companies, National Laboratories, Propulsion Engine Manufacturers, Government Facilities, Aerospace Research and Development firms and strain gage, transducers and instrumentation manufacturers. Organizations from other regions are also members.

A committee information exchange occurs twice a year for two days to hear technical papers, participate in workshops and manufacturer's seminars (sponsors of the committee), participate on panels and tour a test facility in the area.
