Theoretical estimation of the strain is done. Then it is compared against the experimental strain.
The following table 3 tabulates the both data and also shows the percentage difference in the
values of the theoretical and experimental strains.

Voltage is following a linear relationship with the deflection as can be seen from the figure 6.
The linearity co-efficient is given as 16.32.
The strain was ascertained as a capacity of the stretching of the whole setup. The heap cell itself
flexes under the heap, and the end areas of the example likewise stretch. In this way, as indicated
by the information, the lengthening of the gage segment is just about 33% of the stretching of the
whole stack.
Next, strain versus deflection is plotted in figure 7.
