Edward Simmons and Arthur Ruge invented the strain gauge in 1938; it is an object that is used to measure the strain of an object. There are many different types of strain gauges but the most common and simplest form is made up of an insulating backing which holds a metallic foil. When it becomes deformed by pressure, the electrical resistance changes; a wheatstone bridge is used to measure the resistance change. The electrical resistance is thus comparable to the strain (RDP, n.d.). A strain gauge makes its measurements by using the property of electrical conductance, and as stated previously the ...

Introduction

The authenticity of atmospheric and vacuum pressure is evident since period of Galileo and hypotheses and experiments related to those subjects was considered in ancient times. This period of 17th century was crucial for the vacuum science as for many other scientific fields. Many researchers worked on the same theory including, Otto von Guericke, Robert Boyle and Blaise Pascal (Calcatelli 2013).
The rising demands on accuracy in result require constant calibration. According to Rucki, Barisic & Varga (2010) , metrological properties of the measuring tools, is significant. Sometimes it appears difficult to calibrate parameters of pressure gauge, because its gauging ...

Abstract

Six Sigma is a production management concept, developed at Motorola Corporation in the 1980s and popularized in the mid-1990s, after Jack Welch used it as a key strategy in General Electric. The essence of the concept is the need to improve the quality of the outputs of each of the processes to minimize defects and statistical variations in operating activities. The concept of using quality management methods, including statistical methods require the use of measurable goals and results, and involves the creation of ad hoc working groups in the company, with projects to address the ...

Summary

This experiment is about the static calibration of a differential pressure transducer. Test measurements are done to find the range of input and output of the transducer, and to determine the “best-fit” line that models how the voltage reading would equate to the real pressure measurement. The input pressure comes from a hydraulic ram with pressure gauge. The output of the differential pressure transducer is in voltage, and is measured by a digital voltmeter. The input pressure is varied from 0 to 6 bar, and the three voltage readings are recorded for each pressure step value.

Abstract

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus is studied ...

Abstract

The experiment involved the investigation of the young’s modulus of different beams made from different materials. The beams that were used for the test were steel, aluminum and timber. The experiment involved placing of the beams on the measurement machine shown below and addition of loads at the center of the beam. The loads were then varied across the beams while investigating the relationship that existed between the beams when different loads were added. The height, width, and the respective deflections were therefore recorded for analysis. The dial gauge was used to measure the deflection of the beam ...

Abstract

Abstract
Material selection is an important stage in engineering design. Engineers use various materials with different mechanical properties in building of structures. These mechanical properties include; tensile strength, yield strength, proof stress, Young's modulus, shears modulus of rigidity and ductility amongst others. Material selection increases the performance as well as durability of the engineering component. The expected life, cost, nature of loading and working environment are some of the factors that assist engineers to select materials for particular application. Therefore, engineers and designers must be able to determine the properties of these materials before they use them. Engineers ...

Fire hydrants are water outlet terminals strategically located along streets to provide water to firefighters for dousing flames. The firefighters tap into the fire hydrants using flexible hose pipes to refill the fire engines. Also, the fire hydrants are used to drain hydraulic systems. Since fires seldom occur, fire hydrants are rarely used. Therefore, the fire hydrants are likely to go out of service or malfunction due to rusting and oxidation of the metallic parts. To ensure that the hydrants are still in good working condition, fire hydrant flow testing is required. This is a paper on the procedure ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

- Difference between product and service sales
In sales, being aware of the relationship between product sales and service sales as well as differentiating each of them is one of the best way of knowing their differences. Products and services have differences that determine the things that go on in their sales. One of the biggest differences between product and service sales is that product sales can be termed as transactional in nature. On the other hand, service sales are ongoing engagement between the seller and the buyer. A product sale is demarcated into the pre-sales activities and ...

ABSTRACT

In the vibrating beam experiment, an aluminum cantilever beam was made to vibrate. An accelerometer transducer was used to convert the mechanical vibrations into a signal that was fed into an oscilloscope via a power supply. The oscilloscope mapped the signal into a sine curve and displayed it on the screen.
The oscillations’ decay curve was studied and the beam’s damping ratio was determined. The decay curve’s logarithmic decrement was used to determine the beam’s damping ratio and its natural frequency.
The beam’s damping ratio was observed to be underdamped at a damping ratio of 0.0066.
