MULTI-COMPONENT MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR FORCES AND MOMENTS
Abstract
This paper introduces the requirements and possibilities of simultaneous force and moment measurements in industrial testing. Apart from describing the principal mechanics of force and moment vectors, important implications of ignoring disturbing components are mentioned. This is followed by an overview of practical applications of multicomponent measurements. The main part of the paper describes a new measurement tool for the data acquisition, evaluation and vector analysis. This comprises issues of transducer selection and applicability, details of the electronics used and also addresses the software design. Examples of typical applications of the entire system are given with an emphasis on outlining the mode of operation and ease of adaptation to new problems. Finally, the principles of system calibrations are described.
