YJ-4501A static digital strain gauges are used to measure the strain and the results can be read from a strain gauge output device. The measured experimental stress values are to compared to theoretical values and the error calculated. (Introduction When external force is applied on object made of elastic material, there will be a change of size and shape of the object.(R1) Strain, represented by the Greek letter ε, is a term used to measure the deformation or extension of a body due to externally-applied forces.(R2) It can be classified as normal strain and shear strain. Normal strain is generally defined as the change in length divided by the initial length. ε=ΔL/L In this experiment, only normal strain will be measured. Stress is the internal force associated with strain. According to the Figure 1. below, it can found that there is a linear relationship between stress and strain when elastic deformation happens. And the equation σ = Eε can be got, where E is the material property that represents the stiffness of the material called Youngs Modulus. Figure 1. In engineering, it’s important to measure strain as it can represent the hardness of material. It helps engineers to choose appropriate material while designing. In this experiment, normal stress will be measured. And the measured stress value will be compared to the theoretical values and the error calculated. (Background Strain gauge is a metal strip that can be used as a measuring element for physical force if t
