The following material provides supplementary information about strain measurement and the design and application of bonded electrical resistance strain gages in structural mechanics. The material is organized into several separate sections at the present. Each document is in the form of a PDF file that can be viewed using the Acrobat web browser plug-in or else printed to a local printer. Links are provided below to each document.
Please note that the last link has a number of lab homework questions dealing with Mohr's Circle and rosette gage theory. These problems are to be completed and submitted at the start of the Lab #2 lab meeting in one week.
