STRESS & STRAIN MEASUREMENT USING STRAIN GAUGE

Aim:

To measure the stress & strain using strain gauges mounted on cantilever beam.

Apparatus used:

1 Strain gauge Kit,


2 cantilever beam weights,
3 Multimeter.

Procedure:

1. Arrange the cantilever beam, ammeter and voltmeter as shown in figure.


2. After this, put the weight on the rod of cantilever beam.
3. Measure the digital display reading for a particular weight.
4. Measure the value of ammeter (along) and voltmeter reading (micro-volt)
5. Increase the strength of weight.
6. Repeat the steps for increased weight.
7. Measure all dimensions of scale of cantilever.
8. Plot a graph between R/R0 and strain (ε).
9. Find Gauge Factor (GF) by finding the inverse of the slope i.e. =
10. Mark on the graph and use Gauge Factor to find strain.

Strain (Theoretical) = for cantilever type elastic member

(Experimental) =

Modulus of Elasticity E = Stress/Strain

Strain = E x strain = E x e

Depending upon the beam used in apparatus force stress and strain values varies accordingly with
simply supported or cantilever beam terminology.
