Methodology of using fatigue gauges to monitor machinery load

Abstract

Abstract The problem of preventing fatigue damage of machinery critical parts by means of their control with the help of fatigue gauges is considered. The principles of operation and the method of synthesis of fatigue gauges with high sensitivity are described. The technique and results of the stand experiment on the determination of stresses equivalent to the damaging effect of the operating stress spectrum of the vehicle frame are presented using fatigue gauges made of tin foil. It is noted that the monitoring of the parameters of the fatigue gauges can be performed automatically, including using vision devices.
