post #13 has the correct figures.
Column Loading Analysis: Strain and Stress Graph for Tubular Support
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the analysis of strain and stress in a tubular column subjected to varying loads from 0 to 500 kg. Key calculations include the determination of normal stress, normal strain, and transverse strain using the modulus of elasticity (250 GN/m²) and Poisson's ratio (0.33). Participants confirmed the correctness of calculations for loads of 100 kg to 500 kg, with emphasis on the sign convention for stress and strain. The discussion also explored the optimal orientation of strain gauges for maximum sensitivity in measuring strain.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of stress and strain concepts in materials science
- Familiarity with Young's Modulus and Poisson's Ratio
- Ability to perform calculations involving normal stress and strain
- Knowledge of strain gauge applications and Wheatstone bridge circuits
- Learn about the application of strain gauges in structural engineering
- Study the principles of the Wheatstone bridge for measuring resistance changes
- Explore the effects of different orientations of strain gauges on measurement accuracy
- Investigate the relationship between axial and transverse strains in materials
Mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and students studying structural analysis or materials testing will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on strain measurement techniques and stress analysis in tubular structures.

Thanks, and this part...
show how four strain gauges can be used in
conjunction with a Wheatstone bridge to give maximum sensitivity
of the load measurement system.With the aid of sketches show how four strain gauges can be used in
conjunction with a Wheatstone bridge to give maximum sensitivity
of the load measurement system. Show clearly the orientation of the
strain gauges on the tubular column and the positioning of these
gauges on the Wheatstone bridge

take a look here: http://www.omega.com/faq/pressure/pdf/positioning.pdf
for this question, i explained how the circuit works and what the benefit is using the wheatstone bridge circuit. look at figure D in particular for the positioning of the strain gauges.

quick couple of questions and many thanks so far.
Have you had this all marked??
Also the table in post#13 are the same values I had calculated for the graph of the expected strain against the applied load. How do these work then for the graph of strain against applied load when the strain gauge is in
the new position?? Just a bit confused?

yes it has been marked as correct. I achieved distinction grade.
for the first graph, it wil be Transverse Strain Vs Load
for the second, it will be Longitudinal Strain Vs Load
for the first graph, it wil be Transverse Strain Vs Load
for the second, it will be Longitudinal Strain Vs Load

Magic Oxon88 and well done some of these questions are tough to say the least. I will keep working away and try and get it all done. Many thanks for your help. Hopefully in the future I will be able to repay the favour...
