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.
Metrological analysis of stresses in a recycling machine for separating materials
Because of the constantly increasing pressure on our environment caused by solid waste and contaminants and the associated negative effect on our living conditions, the problems of technical pollution control are becoming ever...
Using HBM measurement technology in laboratory rock mechanics tests
The assessment of stability and long-term safety and integrity for the underground workings of mining and cavern construction, as well as landfill and ultimate waste disposal site construction in saltrock or travertine is based...
The suitability of turnouts with fixed switch diamonds for high running speeds – measuring subsidence and strain at Brieselang station
The design of the turnout crossings on the Hamburg – Berlin track section (single crossings with fixed switch diamonds) currently limits the running speed to 200 km/h.
Investigating structural durability in a motorcycle sidecar
In automotive engineering, it is essential forcomponents and sub-assemblies to be designedto be structurally durable.
Measuring the stress and deformation behavior of soil retaining structures reinforced with synthetics
To determine the stress and deformationbehavior of soil reinforced with synthetics, large-scale testing was carried out in a speciallydeveloped biaxial device (V = 1.5m3).
Technical and natural strain
In strain measurement techniques, especiallywhen using electric strain gages, the so-calledtechnical strain ε, at which the change inlength of a geometric section is referred to itsoriginal length, is the predominant...
Test bench engineering in industry and research
In recent years, the proportion of performancetest benches for complex systems that areintegrated into assembly has increased byleaps and bounds.
Vibration and stability problems with axial-flow pump blades in cavitating off-design operation
Hydraulic machinery (pumps, fans) is often operated far away from its design point.
Semi-monocoque hub design for measuring tensile and compressive forces, bending moment and torque
It is imperative for developing, designing and testing machinery and systems to be able to measure the effective component loading.
