• APPLICATION:
Strain measurement Stress analysis
• MATERIALS:
Measuring grid (5μm thickness) : Chromium-Nickel alloys, Copper-Nickel alloys
Support (25μm thickness):Polyimide
All type for several applications
Introduction : Strain gauges
Between 0.6 and 160 mm Between 0.6 and 160 mm

Close bond between the strain gauge and the object
Strain on the object transferred without loss to the strain gauge
PRINCIPLE:
WIRE RESISTANCE CHANGING WITH LENGTH OF WIRE
R = ρL/S (ρ: resistivity (Ω.m); L: length (m); S: section (m2))
∆R/R = ε (1 + 2ν) + ∆ ρ/ ρ (ε: strain = ∆L/L (μm/m); ν: Poisson coefficient)

Bridgman’s law: ∆ρ/ρ = C ∆v/v (C: Bridgman constant, ranging from 1.13 to 1.15)
∆R/R = ε ((1 + 2ν) + C(1 – 2ν)) k = (1 + 2ν) + C(1 – 2ν)
∆R/R = k ε
k : Strain gauge factor = Strain gauge sensitivity
Depends on: • Material of measuring grid• TEMPERATURE

Goal of the study
• GOAL: Characterise the strain gauge factor at 293K, 77K and 4.2K
NEW STRAIN GAUGES, NEW ADHESIVE, MORE ADVANCED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
• WHY? Measurement conditions at CERN: 1.9 K to 500 K Strain measurements must be accurate
Application: Stress measurements during assembly and cryogenic cool down at 4.2 K of short magnet coil

COMPARISON BETWEEN 2 TECHNIQUES OF STRAIN MEASUREMENT

• STEPS:
Find a way to measure strain with a great accuracy
Identify the set up for the measurements at room and cryogenic temperature

Strain measurement
Cryogenic temperature = cryostat
• WHAT IS NEEDED:
Sensor inside the cryostat Must work at low temperature Not too big, easy to install Great accuracy
• TECHNIQUE:
STRAIN = EXTENSION (∆L) / INITIAL LENGTH (L)
LVDT (Inductive sensor) : Infinite resolution Low linearity error

• k-factor value satisfactorily close to the value given by the manufacturer • What we are looking for: Variations of the gauge factor • Between 293K and 77K, k-factor increases by 6.9%• Set up (sample instrumentation) validated for the measurements
NEXT STEPS:
