Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for determining loads on a wind turbine tower. In a first step (110) of the method (100), bending moments in at least one rotor blade of the wind turbine are determined in order to provide a first variable, which identifies a first force acting on a nacelle of the wind turbine tower. In addition, in a second step (120) of the method (100), a nacelle deflection is determined in order to provide a second variable which identifies a second force acting on the nacelle of the wind turbine tower. Furthermore, a third step (130) of the method (100) comprises entering the first variable and the second variable into a calculation model, which displays the behavior of the tower. A fourth step (140) of the method (100) comprises a determination of loads on the tower of the wind turbine by means of the calculation model.

Abstract: A load pin configured for measuring a force, the load pin including two sensors spaced apart from each other for measuring stress or tension. An axis includes a lateral surface configured to be subjected to a load from an upside in an area of the axis between the two sensors. A slot divides the axis into a lower portion and an upper portion, the slot extending essentially in an axial direction of the axis.

Abstract: A catheter arrangement including a catheter having a proximal end and a distal end and at least one continuous fluid channel, at the proximal end of which a fluid connection and at the distal end of which a nozzle is arranged, which has a cross section that can be varied by a force applied to the distal catheter end; a liquid feed unit, connected to the proximal fluid connection of the catheter feeds liquid into the at least one fluid channel at a predetermined operating pressure. A flow sensor measures, during operation of the catheter arrangement, a pressure drop at the fluid channel. A pressure evaluation unit, connected on the input side in a signal-based manner to the flow sensor, determines a force applied to the distal end of the catheter from the measured pressure drop at the fluid channel and from predetermined deformation characteristics of the associated nozzle.

Abstract: An illustrative device capable of detecting a bearing force includes a support rigid by tension and at least one plate that is elastically deformable by the bearing force from a bent conformation in which the plate exhibits a convex bearing face on which the bearing force to be detected is directly exerted and to a more flattened conformation in which the convex bearing face is more flattened. The illustrative device further includes a spring capable of permanently straining the plate to its bent conformation, a guiding mechanism mounted on the support and capable of guiding the free distal end of the plate in translation along a translation axis at right angles to the direction of indentation, and a sensor capable of detecting a displacement of the free distal end along the translation axis to detect the bearing force.

Abstract: A load-sensing device is arranged in a package forming a chamber. The package has a deformable substrate configured, in use, to be deformed by an external force. A sensor unit is positioned in direct contact with the deformable substrate and is configured to detect deformations of the deformable substrate. An elastic element within of the chamber is arranged to act between the package and the sensor unit to generate, on the sensor unit, a force keeping the sensor unit in contact with the deformable substrate. The deformable substrate may be a base of the package, and the elastic element may be a metal lamina arranged between the lid of the package and the sensor unit. The sensor unit may be a semiconductor die integrating piezoresistors.

Abstract: A load can be applied to a beam and a property of the load can be calculated. In one example, a first shear gauge can be configured for positioning on a neutral axis of a beam on one side of a force that the beam is subjected to. Similarly, a second shear gauge can be configured for positioning on the neutral axis of the beam on an opposite side of the force to the first shear gauge. A calculator can be configured to identify a characteristic of the force through use of an output of the first shear gauge and through use of an output of the second shear gauge.
