Abstract A curve-fitting technique is presented which is especially suited to strain-gage measurements. The location of the strain gages is inherently specified by the method, and the number of gages to be used is also prescribed. The method of Chebyshev polynomial curve fitting assures a best fit in the least-squares sense. The procedure of using the method of strain-gage measurement and subsequent curve fitting is explained. The method is suitable for hand calculation but is more easily done on a digital computer. An example problem is given to illustrate the procedure, and a discussion of errors and error techniques is included.
