Knowledge
Technical knowledge on laser measurement technology, wind energy and bridge monitoring.
Fundamentals, measurement methods and experience from practical applications.
Bridge Monitoring
How can the behaviour of a bridge under real loads be measured and compared over time? Here we explain measurement principles, analysis methods and experience from long-term monitoring.
Long-term Bridge Monitoring
How can the behaviour of a bridge be assessed over several years?
Long-term monitoring makes structural changes under real traffic visible through comparison over time.
Dynamic Bridge Load Testing
How does a bridge respond to defined vehicle loads? Load tests compare measured deformation with calculated structural behaviour.
Overview of Bridge Monitoring Methods
What information do different measurement methods provide – and how can local, material-related and global measurements complement each other in Structural Health Monitoring?
Wind Energy
How can blade angle, blade movement and structural responses be measured during operation? Here we explain measurement methods, relationships and experience from rotor measurement.
Blade Angle Deviations in Wind Turbines
What effects can differences in blade angle have on energy yield, rotor behaviour and turbine loads?
Relative and Absolute Blade Angles
What is the difference between absolute and relative blade angles – and why is comparing the three rotor blades particularly relevant for turbine operation?
