4 Abstract— Positioning of Strain Gauge is one of the limiting factor for finding the accurate output signal by using conventional sensors and other electronic devices. Strain gauges and electronic devices are required in some special applications e.g. measurement of deformations, stresses and pressures inside power generators. The optimum positioning of the strain gauge has been studied using finite element analysis and the findings are presented in the form of stress, strain and displacement plots with respect to centre line distance of sensor's substrate. The study further attempts to suggest in positioning of strain gauge for finding the accurate output signals and good sensitivity from electronic devices and conventional sensors.
