Strain Gage Measurement
Project Summary
Create a Wheatstone half-bridge circuit with two strain gages, and measure the strain on an aluminum cantilever beam as a load is applied.
Project Objectives
- Build and become familiar with a Wheatstone bridge circuit.
- Use strain gages for measurement of strain.
- Write a LabVIEW program to measure the output voltage of a half-bridge circuit and convert it to strain.
