Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:23:58
Abstract
Structural testing is a very broad and interdisciplinary field. Taking into account the limited time, the scope of this tool-course is to provide a general introduction to structural testing, with particular attention to theoretical and practical aspects of strain gage measurements. Furthermore a real engineering case is presented and discussed in small groups.
Objective
Introduction to structural testing. Focus lies in measurements with strain gages. Selected case-studies help the participant to better understanding critical issues and possible solutions.
Content
Working with strain gages preparation of the structure, positioning and application of the strain gages, data-gathering, verification. Introduction to Structural Testing (Theory) Case Study (Hockey-stick): Problem presentation, development of possible solutions, presentation and discussion, testing in the lab.
