Industrial Structural Load and Strain Testing
An industrial structural load and strain testing workflow for coefficient calculation, staged loading, and load-sharing verification.
Project Type
Industrial Equipment Monitoring
System Scale
adjustable structural member coefficient testing using 10 ton, 15 ton, and 20 ton loads, followed by staged 300-600 ton load verification in 50 ton steps
Data Output
rod strain, strain coefficient, virtual channel load, rod load distribution, staged lifting trend
Engineering Value
How the system supported engineering decisions
The case converts structural load and strain testing into a public DL-DAQ and DL-SHM verification workflow.
Strain coefficient calibration gave the lifting team traceable evidence before 300-600 ton operation.
Virtual channel load calculation and rod-to-rod comparison supported safer heavy lifting execution.
Monitoring Content
Monitoring scope and field constraints addressed by the deployment
Rod coefficients had to be calibrated accurately from strain data before heavy lifting could proceed.
Sixteen rods required load balance tracking during staged 300-600 ton simulated lifting.
The system needed virtual channel calculation and strain coefficient review without exposing internal software or hardware codes.

Project Overview
Engineering context and monitoring scope
A Sanmen energy facility required calibration testing for adjustable rods to obtain rod coefficients. Strain gauges were bonded at the rod center, crane loads of 10 tons, 15 tons, and 20 tons were applied, and coefficients were calculated from three datasets with errors within 0.5%. A subsequent lifting test used the coefficients to calculate lifted weight through software virtual channels. Sixteen rods were loaded from 300 tons to 600 tons in 50 ton increments, and rod-to-rod load difference was adjusted from a required limit of 20% to within 10% before lifting.
