Strain gauge measures 2

Strain gauge measures


Inclinometry is taken with increased resolution at those parts of the track where 2 strain gauges are located. A typical stream of strain gauge data is shown below :

and details for each wheel are shown below here :

Wheel 1
Wheel 2
Wheel 3
Wheel 4

An algorithm extracts the peak strain from each inclinometry dataset, and a history for each wheel/gauge is shown below :

Raw data, gauge 1
Raw data, gauge 2
Ratio-ed data, gauge 1
Ratio-ed data, gauge 2

The first 1000d-worth of these data are available here :

Ratio-ed Data, gauge 2
