If a currnt is passd through th lock paralll to th dirction, th rsistanc of th lock is givn y ρ a 0 (7-1- whr ρ is th rsistivity of th lock matrial. Whn an inward forc F is applid against th two nds of th lock, this gnrats a strss σ F /, and th lock dforms. Th amount of dformation is a function of th Young s modulus E and th Poisson s ratio ν of th matrial.

Th Poisson s ratio for most matrials is roughly 0., giving a typical gaug factor for most conductors of G gaug 1.6..g. a 1% strain will rsult in a 1.6% chang in rsistanc. In addition to this shap-asd chang in rsistanc, som matrials xhiit a sustantial chang in rsistanc du to a strain-inducd chang in th rsistivity of th matrial. This is known as th pizorsistiv ffct, and is particularly apparnt in silicon crystals, whr th gaug factor du to pizorsistivity can as larg as 00 in magnitud. Th gaug factors of n-typ and p-typ silicon hav opposit sign, with n-typ ing ngativ. Du to a varity of ffcts, th gaug factor of polysilicon films is typically an ordr of magnitud lowr than singl crystal films, with typical valus of 0 to 0 for p-typ silicon, and 15 to 5 for n-typ.
