MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT OF STRESSES AND STRAINS IN REVOLVING PARTS

LA MESURE PAR VOIE HERTZIENNE DES CONTRAINTES ET DES EFFORTS SUR PIECES TOURNANTES

The microwave equipment for measuring the dynamic stresses in revolving parts picks up the information by means of an aerial fixed near the moving part. The modulated and amplified signals are fed into an oscilloscope. The various units in the equipment have been miniaturised by the Testing Section of the SNCF Rolling Stock Department. The equipment is used for measuring the stresses and strains in the axles of RTG trainsets, and in the cardan shaft transmission system of the Z 7001 railcar.
