Strain Gauge Lab Report

Strain Gauge Lab Report. The strain gauge is an important instrument used for measuring mechanical quantities In this experiment strain was used measure strain This instrument can be used to pick up expansion as well as contraction Strain is made up of compressive and tensile strain which are pick up by the strain gauge (Goto et al 1991).

Measurements using a Strain Gauge Ellie Bowers (eb858) area) 1 The gauge factor G F is the change in resistance (∆ R R) for a given value of strain (ε) as evident in equation (3) where G F is assumed to be equal to two during the experiment ∆ R R = G F ε (3) 1 A potential divider Wheatstone bridge and a Wheatstone bridge plus amplifier are used in electrical.

Strain Gauge Laboratory Report By Akash Sherchan Student ID # 1124433 University of Warwick Summary The strain gauge laboratory session had a lot of aims and one of the main aims was to provide us with experience in using circuits based on operational amplifiers and examine the characteristics of these circuits when they amplify DC signals.

LAB #8: Measurement of Strain

PDF fileThe strain gauge is nothing more than a resistor whose value changes when it is elongated or compressed When elongated the small wires which make up the strain gauge get longer and thinner and the resistance goes up When compressed the wires get shorter and fatter and the resistance goes down.
