DIGITAL TWIN AS A TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACH TO CLASSICAL FORCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

M. J. A. Solis, C. Giusca, S. Goel
Abstract:
Like any other measuring device, load cells are vital in ensuring that products meet quality and safety requirements; therefore, they must always be accurate and reliable. Creep affects measurement results and the useful life of load cells but is not well understood. Digital twins create a virtual representation of an instrument that can be used to understand, monitor, and predict load cell behaviour. This study found that the significant source of creep originates from the strain gauge's carrier matrix and that the Larson-Miller Parameter equation can be used to support the digital twin development of the load cell.
