The strain gauge data and a photo of the truck are now available as files attached to the assignment in BbLearn. The files necessary for the lab are as follows:
| File | Description |
| READ ME - Data Description - CAEE201.docx | Description of the data in the Excel file as well as info on where the strain gauge is located |
| LAB DATA CAEE201.xlsx | The actual data from the strain gauges. See the description for what to do |
| Truck Event.jpg | Image of the truck |
| Truss Chord Diagram with Strain Gauges.png | Diagram (NTS) of where the strain gauges are located on the top chord. |
| T-P Lab Description 20121018.docx | The description of the lab with the questions to be answered. |
| Tacony-Palymra Drawings.pdf | Drawings extracted from the full report showing the structural members of the bridge. |
I noticed on the deliverable section that this is a lab report outlining the results for the activities listed in the packet. Does this mean that you are looking for a document written in lab report form or an excel file that contains all the necessary information?
ReplyDeleteYou have a choice. My recommendation is to use Excel. You've seen in prior labs how to include text in an Excel document. I'd recommend separate tabs as well.

For Phase 1 of the lab, it says to sketch the truss span that was instrumented with strain gauges, is this a deliverable or is this something to help us visualize? If it is a deliverable, do we need to produce our own or can we use the ones given in the attachments? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDo we use the Cross sectional area provided to us in the example?
ReplyDeleteand also, where do we get the epsilon (maximum measure strain)? to put into F = epsilon*E*A
