Lab 2 Grading Explanation
If you have questions about the correct programming approach, or what the graphs should look like for your group's particular data, please contact the TA (Trevor, trevor.lujan@utah.edu) directly.
Lab 3 (11/9, 11/10)
Note - TA has curve-fit the data for all groups now. ALL WEDNESDAY GROUPS SHOULD USE "ta_harmonic.txt".
split.m, and sub-function nozero.m - Matlab file used to pre-process the "ta_harmonic.txt" file - will need to be modified before using with data for the lab groups.
Sample dimensions corresponding to data set "ta_harmonic.txt": Width: 2.21 mm; Thickness: 3.08; Length: 15.60
Strain levels corresponding to data set "ta_harmonic.txt": 2%, 4%, 6%Data, Wednesday
Group 1: Use ta_harmonic.txt
Group 2: Use ta_harmonic.txt
Group 3: Use ta_harmonic.txt
Group 4: Use ta_harmonic.txt
Data, Thursday
Group 1: h1_harmonic.txt
Group 2: h2_harmonic.txt
Group 3: h3_harmonic.txt
Group 4: h4_harmonic.txt
