This paper describes a method for measuring strain and stress values in a real world project through the use of sensors, data acquisition hardware, and the Lab VIEW software program. The proposed method describes how real time information about mechanical properties can be gathered within a single user-friendly program. The ability to make drastic or life-saving decisions during an air mission is an example of a real-world application of this project. The aircrew needs the ability to understand and recognize the mechanical properties of the aircraft components in real time. The proposed method will provide the mechanical properties of the part within a single Excel file. This is similar to the information that a laptop mounted within the cabin of the aircraft, known as a "tough book," delivers. This information is in turn used for critical decisions in any air missions.
