This paper presents the details of novel foil strain gauge sensor configurations comprising carbon nanotube yarn as the piezoresistive sensing element. The foil strain gauge sensors are designed using the results of parametric studies that maximize the sensitivity of the sensors to mechanical loading. The fabrication details of the strain gauge sensors that exhibit the highest sensitivity, based on the modeling results, are described including the materials and procedures used in the first prototypes. Details of the calibration of the foil strain gauge sensors are also provided and discussed in the context of their electromechanical characterization when bonded to metallic specimens. This characterization included studying their response under monotonic and cyclic mechanical loading. It was shown that these foil strain gauge sensors comprising carbon nanotube yarn are sensitive enough to capture strain and can replicate the loading and unloading cycles. It was also observed that the loading rate affects their piezoresistive response and that the gauge factors were all above one order of magnitude higher than those of typical metallic foil strain gauges. Based on these calibration results on the initial sensor configurations, new foil strain gauge configurations will be designed and fabricated, to increase the strain gauge factors even more.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18020464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,5]],"date-time":"2018-02-05T10:12:49Z","timestamp":1517825569000},"page":"464","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Foil Strain Gauges Using Piezoresistive Carbon Nanotube Yarn: Fabrication and Calibration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7935-7322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jandro L.","family":"Abot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Catholic University of America, 620 Michigan Ave. NE, Washington, DC 20064, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio R.","family":"G\u00f3ngora-Rubio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technological Research, Bionanomanufacturing Group, Av.
