(4 credits)

Experimental determination of stress and strain in loaded members. Use of capacitance strain gage, resistance strain gages and rosettes and wheatstone bridges, optical strain gages and rosette, and two-dimensional photoelasticity and photoelastic coatings. Design of experiments and portable transducers which measure force, moment and displacement and deformations, etc. With laboratory. Offered winter.
