Flat plate in tension test

AI Thread Summary
For measuring strain on a flat steel plate with a central hole under tension, using multiple strain gauges is essential for accurate readings. An extensometer or deflectometer is recommended for this application, as they can effectively measure the deformation of the plate. The simplest experimental setup involves securely attaching the strain gauges at specific points on the plate, ensuring proper alignment and calibration. Data acquisition can be streamlined using a data logger or a compatible interface for real-time monitoring. Additional resources and links to equipment suppliers or detailed guides on strain gauge installation and data interpretation can enhance the experimental process.

I was wondering what equiptment would be best suited to using multiple strian gauges on specific points on a flat steel plate with a central hole in tension. What is the simplest experimental set-up to obtain reading from the gauges?

Any points/links would be appreciated.
