DESCRIPTION:Mechanical measurements are needed in a large variety of activ
 ities at CERN. The Mechanical Measurement Lab of EN/MME group is equipped 
 to perform a very large range of mechanical tests at ambient as well as cr
 yogenic temperatures and in magnetic fields. In particular for the R&D pro
 gram of new magnets\, force transducers based on strain and capacitive gau
 ges are developed and used at CERN. In 2010\, the generation of new data a
 cquisition systems allows to measure simultaneously the strain gauges\, th
 e capacitive gauges and other external parameters (current\, temperature\,
  etc…). Mechanical measurements at CERN include also other fields of int
 erest such as mechanical failure analysis\, FEA validation\, and vibration
  characterisation. Ground motion measurements are carried out for the CLIC
  stabilisation activities.\nThis seminar will give an overview of the mech
 anical measurement techniques used by EN-MME lab. Furthermore the seminar 
 will focus on the experimental performances of the new system developed to
  measure simultaneously the strain and capacitive gauges. The dynamic stre
 ss measurements will also be discussed with an example of failure analysis
 .\n\nMichael Guinchard graduated DUT Mesures Physiques in 1996 from the St
 rasbourg University of Technology. He worked for General Motors in the Noi
 se and Vibration Laboratory of the European Technical Centre during 6 year
 s and followed in parallel courses in instrumentation – measurements wit
 h the CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers). He is in charge 
 of the Mechanical Measurements Lab since 2005.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/co
