Strain Measurements and Stress Analysis

About this book

The authors realized that there are currently no books in the marketplace that include sufficient solved examples along with the ability to cover theories of experimental technique in such a way as to promote self-teaching by the reader. The authors objective is to allow the reader to review the materials before stepping into a laboratory situation. Chapters are written in a very concise easily understandable manner and features the inclusion of ample solved equations designed to test the understanding of featured topics. Chapter topics include: Stress Strain and Stress-Strain Relationships; Metal-Foil Resistance Strain Gages; Strain Gage Circuitry Transducers and Data Analysis; Photoelasticity; Photoelasticity-Coating Method; Geometric Moir Techniques in Strain Analysis; Holographic Interferometry; and Computer Data Acquisition and Control Systems. For self-study in Experimental Stress Analysis.
