Lab 2: Calibration Uncertainty
• Uncertainty in deltaVamp
– Uncertainty in each measurement
• Store standard deviation in VI
– Select largest one over range (unless truly outlier)
• Use 95% CI for Vamp
– 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝 = 𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝 − 𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒
• Where
– Vamp → measured Vamp for calibration weight
– Vamptare → tare value selected to tare out bias errors
• Propagate uncertainties using RSS
Lab 2: Calibration Uncertainty
• Uncertainty in deltaVamp
𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝 = 𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝 − 𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒
• RSS
𝜇𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝2 = 𝜇𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝 2
+ 𝜇𝑉𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒 2
– Where
• μslope = uncertainty in slope from fit
– Monte Carlo Simulation
• μ Vdelta_amp = uncertainty in tared voltage from AD in SADI DAQ
– RSS
• VVdelta_amp = measured tared voltage
• m = slope from fit
• It is left to the student to address the uncertainty in b, the
intercept ( not needed if only changes are considered)
Lab 2: MOM Uncertainty
• VI: strain gage to measure strain, estimate
stress and load
– Measure some geometry
– Find some material properties
– Measure two analog voltages
– Apply a measured zero value to Vamp and scale
(gain) to get Vg
– Weight things
Lab 2 Uncertainty Strain based
• Use RSS to propagate the uncertainty in the
measurements into the uncertainty of the
load
