Arthur Claude Ruge was an American engineer and professor at MIT, known for inventing the electrical resistance strain gauge in 1938. Initially seeking to study the expansion of earthquake-resistant water tanks, Ruge created a novel measurement device by attaching a thin resistance wire to a carrier film. This innovation allowed for a stable and adjustable measurement instrument, leading to mass production of his strain gauge. He independently developed this alongside Edward E. Simmons, who patented a similar device in 1942. Ruge's work significantly advanced the technology of strain measurement.
