On-site measurement of the actual deformation

Ambulante Messung zur Voraussage der Lebensdauer
Under the bridge Duisburg Neuenkamp, A40
On-site measurement of the actual deformation in cooperation with RWTH Aachen, Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy

Task

Investigation of the load capacity of existing structures with the aid of strain measurements to determine the real load values during operation and under special loads

Goal

Measurement of local loads with strain gauges mostly as a means of verifying existing calculations or for pressure tests in apparatus construction

Path

Application of strain gauges and measurement of component strain with high measuring frequencies. Transfer of the measured data to strains with Hook’s law.
