Circular Beam under Combined Loading

Objective

 Use "Wheatstone Bridge" circuits to measure the resistance change of a strain gage
due to an applied load.
 Use strain rosettes for determining principal directions and stresses in a combined
torsion and bending of a circular shaft clamped at one end.
 Related data and/or modeling analyses.

Introduction

The combined loading experiment is relevant for both the assessment of engineering
in resistance determinants. strain gauges are used to measure the force and the force
of the machine tools, such as hydraulic and aerospace and pneumatic presses and
automotive devices in a variety of industry applications to analyze and diagnose
machines such as impact, dental and medical sensors, web tension and stress sensors,
and biometrics. In laboratories, experiments are conducted routinely to identify
factors such as residual stress, evidence testing, and measurement of the vibration,
torque, bending, deflection, compression, and stress analysis. Parts must often
endure more than one sort of load in several engineering circumstances. Often shafts
should resist torque and moments of bending. The parts are thought to be linear in
their behaviour, in order to solve this sort of problem of the design (Yielding can not
happen). Components must often endure more than one sort of load in several
engineering circumstances. In this lab, Mohr's circle shows the graphical approach
of solution of stress values and pressure values as well as the angle. In this lab,
Mohr's circle demonstrates the graphical strategy of solution of stress values and
strain values and also the angle. Mohr's Circle was introduced by Otto Mohr in 1882
and is a graphical illustration of major stress and stress transformations. When the
stress element is lined up with the main directions and the shear stress is identical to
the maximum shear stress when the stress element is rotated 45 ° away from the
main directions, normal stress is equal to the main stresses.
