Q.1 Ametallic strain gauge has resistance of 120.8 and a gauge factor of 2. Itis installed on an aluminium
structure which has a yield point stress of 0.2 GN/m? and Young's modulus of 68.7 GN/m?, determine
the change in resistance of the gauge that would be caused by loading the material to yield point.
Solution:
Given that

Q.2 Astrain gauge is bonded to a beam 0.1 m long and has a cross-sectional are 0.4 x 10° m?. Young's
modulus of elasticity for steel is 207 GN/m?. The strain gauge has a unstrained resistance of 2400
and a gauge factor of 2.20. When the load is applied, the gauge’s resistance changes by 0.0132.
Calculate the change in length of the steel beam and the amount of force applied to the beam,
