The relationship between measured strain and change in output can be found as,
To achieve an output signal of 1mV per , the gain (G) needs to satisfy:
Therefore,
For this experiment, gage factor (F) is 2.095.
3.1.4 Calculate the strain simulated by Shunt Resistors
Calculate the strain simulated by shunt resistors.
The connected shunt resistors are parallel to the gage, the equivalent resistance is:
Therefore,
Gage factor is 2.095 0.5% for the gauge chosen for this experiment. Resistance without
deformation is 120.
