Stress & Strain Measurement using Strain Gauges

Here We have the Cantilever Beam of Aluminium having total length of 140 mm and rectangular in cross section with breadth ’b’ of 26 mm and height ‘h’ of 21 mm. In our Setup we used full bridge Strain Gauge. The strain gauges are placed at the middle of the beam. The Load is applied at the free end of the beam. The distance between the Strain Gauges and point of Load applied is 54 mm. Here we have developed an Android App to display the Induced Stress and Strain in the cantilever beam. As there is no load applied the value of Mass, Stress and Strain are displayed to be ZERO. After we apply the load the Weight applied, Induced Stress and Strain are displayed. Now you can compare the Experimental Values with Theoretical values obtained by using our Simulator on the Website or by calculating using Flexural Formula.
