You will be provided with a mild steel plate having a central circular hole and a series of uniaxial strain gauges bonded to its surface (Figures 1-2). The gauges are numbered from 1-6, and 'axial'. 25 mm 25 mm axial 1-5 6 Table 1: Plate dimensions Hole Diameter (mm) Plate Width Plate Length Plate Applied (mm) (mm) Thickness Tensile Load (mm) (N) 12.3 149 389 2.9 11,500 Table 2: Strain Gauge location and experimentally measured strains Gauge 1 2 3 4 5 6 Axial r (mm) 8.15 11.15 13.15 15.15 17.15 56.15 70.65 Strain () 75.027 61.776 57.372 58.328 62.287 37.983 122.087
