Designing and Calibration of the System for Remote Strain Control

Strain measurements by strain gauges is the most common method. In this paper is shown complete development process of a device, which measures the strain and sends the measured values over the Internet. Measuring device is proved with some known strain values. After the confirmed accuracy it is installed on remote construction, which is being monitored 24 hours per day. To prove the accuracy of the results, FEM analysis of the remote construction is done. Both solutions show very good overlap.
