Course content
Tutorials (measurements): 1. Strain gauge measurement of a beam under bending (densitometer) 2. NI LabView fundamentals - express functions 3. Damped and undamped vibration of a clamped beam 4. NI LabView programming 5. Multiaxial stress - bending of a plate / stress in a pressure vessel 6. Strain gauge measurement of torsion (torque wrench) 7. Measurement of deformation with a high-speed camera

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
  • Preparation for laboratory testing; outcome analysis - 21 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 28 hours per semester
  • Presentation preparation (report) - 10 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course introduces the students into experimental methods in the mechanics of elastic bodies, namely strain gauge measurements and optical methods in deformation measurements.
Through laboratory experiments, the students learn to apply the experimental methods in solid mechanics in practical situations of structures loaded by various stresses, to perform data acquisition, process the results and write a measurement report. Instead of using pre-built setups and data acquisition systems, the students realize a self-made measurement chain, beginning with transducer installation and ending by creating a simple measurement software.
