The Deformation of Rocks under Tidal Load

Numerical/Experimental Analysis of the Deformation of Tubes under Concentrated Load

Distortion and deformation of tubes during machining operations are very important. In this study, a tube used in magnetic drum separator under concentrated load (machining load) is considered. Using finite element simulation, deformities and their dependence on parameters such as the thickness of the tube and the place of concentrated force are observed and predicted. To compare and confirm th...

Static and Dynamic Measurement of Force Transducer’s Deformation under Load

− At PTB, one designed and investigated measurement setups to determine the deformation of force transducers while applying a static or dynamic force. To measure the deformation, a differential vibrometer [1] is used which is integrated in the measurement setups. Using the deformation results one is able to calculate the transducers stiffness. An evaluation of the measurement uncertainty is pre...

Analytical Solution for the Deformation of a Cylinder under Tidal Gravitational Forces

Quite a few future high precision space missions for testing Special and General Relativity will use optical resonators which are used for laser frequency stabilization. These devices are used for carrying out tests of the isotropy of light (Michelson-Morley experiment) and of the universality of the gravitational redshift. As the resonator frequency not only depends on the speed of light but a...
