Handgrip force
According to graph 1:
2 I z E xx 24.7476101062.951091454106
F= = =71.71 N
( Lx ) h ( 0.250.05 )0.00606
According graph 3 :
F=P=0.0536 xx10.0084=0.053614540.0084=77.926 N
All the lines almost intersect at (0.25,0), which is the free end and axial
stress is 0.
Discussion
1. Comment on the signs of the strains (xx1, zz1, xx2, zz2) with
respect to the location and orientation of the strain gauges and how the
beam is loaded.
The slopes of 4 theoretical lines are all negative, because the stress is
xx P(Lx ) h
negatively proportional to x according to xx= = ( ) and they
E Iz E 2
all intersect at point (0.25,0). This point is the free end of the beam, where
both moment and axial stress are 0. As load increases, the slopes also go
steeper.
The measurement of the hand grip force is not accurate. As shown in the
sample calculation, the results from two methods are 77.926N and 71.71N
77.92671.71
respectively. The result difference is = =7.98 , which is quite
77.926
prominent.
