reports in applied measurement
reports in applied measurement is an in-depth journal on measurement technology comprising articles submitted by independent authors.
RAM has a tradition going back to the mid-1960s.
It is edited by Dr. Martin Stockmann from the Institute of Mechanics at the University of Chemnitz, Germany. It is issued twice yearly in English and German exclusively on our website.
Acceleration measurements during the development of free-fall lifeboats
The problems posed by open lifeboats have led to international regulations which specify mandatory installation of enclosed lifeboats for all freight-carrying ships.
Deformation measurements on a two-span concrete beam reinforced with steel sections
In the production of reinforced concrete structural elements expensive formwork is often needed which is then removed when the concrete has set.
The thermal output of a strain gage
The purpose of this article is to explain the causes of thermal output in strain gages and to show methods by which the effects can be minimized.
Measuring acceleration in a 360° looping orbit
A Bavarian manufacturer has built a looping track with a 360° loop for an amusement park in California.
Experimental verification of the load-bearing capacity of a multilevel car park in Bremerhaven
An increasing proportion of construction work involves the maintenance and refurbishment of existing buildings whose load-bearing capacity cannot be established by analytical methods
Stress calculation from measured strains in the elastic deformation range
Experimental stress analysis using strain gages is carried out in two sequential steps.
Performance of the inductive force transducer Q11 under high-energy spallation neutron irradiation
Components used in nuclear engineering are subject to irradiation-induced structural changes as well as mechanical and thermal load.
Loading behavior of pile groups studied with the aid of inductive displacement transducers and strain gages
In order to study the vertical loading behavior of piles, large-scale model experiments have been performed using single piles and pile groups of different sizes and lengths, with loading continued until failure of the total...
Applying force transducers and strain gages for rollbearing force measurements on continuous dewatering pressure filters
In order to optimize the design of the frame of a 22 metric ton (24.2 English tons) band filter press for iron ore slurry, it was found necessary to measure the bearing forces at the high-pressure rolls and pressure rolls while...
Stress tests with strain gages on the "UBS-Switzerland" before her participation in the Round The World Race
Before her participation in the Whitbread Round The World Race, the Swiss racing yacht "UBS Switzerland" underwent an extensive series of stress tests during a North-Atlantic crossing.
