Open Calculator
Description of Calculator inputs:
Units: Inches or SI
(Metric), keep unit consistent with desired output
(W) Applied Load (lb/N): Load
applied to beam in the selected units "Inches or SI (Metric)"
Modulus of Elasticity (M): (Young's
Modulus) in tension and compression is the rate of change of
unit stress with respect to unit strain for the condition of
uniaxial stress within the proportional limit. For most
materials the modulus of elasticity is the same for tension and
compression.
(D) Distance of Load to Strain Gage (in/mm):
Enter desired distance from the applied load to the strain
gage.
(T) Beam Thickness (in/mm): Enter
desired beam thickness.
(X) Beam Width (in/mm): Enter desired
beam width
(GF) Gage Factor: Enter Gage factor or
constant.
Description of Calculator outputs:
Strain (E): Beam axial strain (microstrain)
Bridge Output (mV/V): Bridge output
units. When gage factor of the gage and instrument are equal
(determined by gage factor Eo/EI)
