Summary
The main objective of this lab was to gain a better understanding about how strain
gauges work and their function. To do this, strain gauges were used on a standard 355
mL soda can and the strain in the hoop as well as the strain in the longitude axis were
recorded. This was done twice, the first time had the soda in its normal state and the
second was after the soda can had been shaken. After all the strain values were
recorded, stress and internal pressure of the can were calculated using data for
aluminium collected from trusted sources. The calculated stress was in two parts that
being the hoop stress and longitude stress, the ratio of these values was recorded and
compared to the actual known property that hoop stress will be twice that of longitude
stress. The lab appears to have been successful as the experimental ratio was close to
that of the actual ratio.
Nomenclature
Theory and Analysis
Stress (
𝜎
)
Defined as F/A, The two kinds of stress are normal and shear where normal describes
force perpendicular to the cross sectional area and where shear describes force parallel
to the cross sectional area. This experiment only focuses on normal stress, more
specifically normal compressive stress. The unit of stress is newtons (N) divided by
metres (m) also known as Pascals (Pa).
In this experiment stress will be calculated from strain alongside the young’s modulus of
aluminium using the derived equations for hoop and longitude stress:
Strain (ϵ)
As force is applied to an object there will always be some sort of deformation this is
where strain is used. Defined as Δl/l
o
. Strain represents the unitless ratio of the change
in length divided by the original length.
Young’s Modulus (E)
The young’s modulus is used in hooke's law which is defined as
𝜎
= ϵE. When hooke’s
law is rearranged E represents the ratio of stress and strain. E is known as a material

elasticity or in other terms its stiffness. The material used in this experiment is
aluminium which has an elasticity of E = 70 GPa [2].
Internal Pressure (P)
Pressure is the force that acts perpendicular to the surface of the soda can, similar to
stress it uses the same units (MPa) as it describes force over area. In this lab the can
will experience a pressure from the fluid inside of it.
Poisson’s ratio (v)
Poisson’s ratio depicts how much an object deforms in both axis relative to each other.
For aluminium this ratio is v = 0.35
Ultimate tensile strength (
𝜎
)
The ultimate tensile strength describes the maximum amount of pulling/stretching of a
material before it eventually fails. For aluminium the ultimate tensile strength is 600 Mpa

Undisturbed (internal pressure)
Disturbed (internal pressure)
The hoop stress in the undisturbed can is around twice that of longitude stress, and
the hoop stress in the disturbed can is three times that of the longitude stress; there is
little change between the disturbed and undisturbed longitude stress. The negative
stresses represent that the can is in compression and the negative pressure describes
that the pressure outside the can is greater than the pressure inside the can. The
pressure values seem to make sense as that value represents the pressure the fluid
exerted on the walls of the can, therefore since we know fluid will exert more pressure it
makes sense. It is expected that the hoop stress is to be twice that of the longitude
stress which appears to almost be the case here with these values.
2.
Undisturbed
Disturbed
Take the Allowable strength of 600 Mpa [2] The safety factor is greater for the
undisturbed can, which makes sense as it has a smaller internal stress. The longitudinal
safety factors do not differ much from each other. Overall the safety factors for all four
results are pretty high which goes to show that the design of the soda can is pretty solid
and aluminium is a very versatile material. It would take a much larger pressure before
the can becomes structurally compromised which adds up considering these soda cans
often are transported via aircraft.
3.
Actual Ratio
Undisturbed
The undisturbed hoop to longitude stress ratio is 1.96 which is an expected and
accurate result. This means there was not that much error during the procedure
especially when attaching the strain gauges.
Disturbed
The disturbed ratio is a little less accurate than that of the undisturbed ratio although still
not too far off the expected value. Some discrepancy is noticed here most likely due to
some error during the procedure, the strain gauges could potentially have not fully been
parallel to their respective axis leading to strain being measured in two dimensions
instead of the desired one dimension measurement.
4.
The can possess a concave bottom which allows it to increase its maximum pressure
tolerance. The concave ends dissipate pressure around the rim of the can, in fact it
does so well at resisting pressure that it withstands the rapid atmospheric pressure
change during transportation via aircraft.
Conclusion
The strain gauge provided the necessary strain values for both hoop and longitude
direction. From these strain values the compressive stress was calculated along with
the internal pressure. Overall the experiment was successful as the error was small and
nothing unexpected occurred.

The purpose of this problem is to
show the relationship between material constants typically used in engineering practice. This
is useful because you may often have access to measurements of or tabulated values of some
constants (e.g., Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio) but need another constant (e.g., shear
modulus) for a calculation. Use the expression Cijkl = µ(dildjk + dikdjl) + Ad¿jdkl to derive
the following:
(a) Young's modulus, E = µ(3X+2µ)/(X+μ), from the definition 11 = Ee11 in a unconfined
(022 = 0,033 = 0) uniaxial tension test.
(b) Poisson's ratio, v = \/(2(X + μ)), from the definition v = €22/11 in the same test as
in (a).
(c) Shear modulus, μ = G = 012/(2€12) = E/(2(1 + v)).
Use the results to show that C can also be written Cijkl

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture

implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the

A proposal for a “Smart" car seat operates by detecting the weight of the
passenger and comparing against various thresholds. If the weight of the passenger is
below 15 kg, the car would prevent deployment of an air bag in a collision. A standard
"passenger" has a weight of >50 kg. The empty seat weighs 25 kG.
The weight sensor is constructed with a strain gauge placed in one of the 4 “feet" of the
car seat. In this position, it detects exactly 1/4 of the weight of the car seat plus the
passenger. It consists of a structure that has a pre-assembly length of 1 cm, and a
stiffness of 1,000,000 N/m. A metal film strain gauge with a nominal resistance of 10 kN
and a gage factor of 2.0 is attached to this structure so that the weight of the car seat
causes tensile strain in the strain gauge that is the same magnitude as the strain in the feet.

The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown.
The volume of the ligament stays the same as it stretches, so the cross-section area decreases as the length increases. Given this, how would a force F versus change in length ΔL curve appear?

The crux of the problem asks you to compute the elastic modulus of a pancake--for this we give you numbers that we got from our own measurements of the pancakes. The last question asks you to hypothesize about which ingredients are playing the role of flour in the gluten free recipes. If you find this topic interesting, you may want to consider exploring something like this for your final project, and design an experiment to understand the difference between the normal and gluten free recipe and try to manipulate the gluten free recipe to better resemble the normal pancakes.If you choose to make the two recipes and compare them in your own kitchen, make sure you use exactly the same protocol for each recipe: In our trials, we made the batter, and then cooked on a skillet, using 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, and flipped when the edges were firm and golden, about 4-5 minutes on each side.Consider a stack of six pancakes. Each pancake is made of 1/4 cup (approximately 60 mL) of batter,…
