For raising the standards of production and living, the measuring of electrical or physical quantities, such as current, voltage, strain, temperature, and pressure, are essential. This is why, over the years, several research institutes at the University of Siegen have used measurement technology in their research projects. As far back as in the beginning of 1975, strain gauges and measuring equipment manufactured by HBK were employed at the University of Siegen. Later, HBK measuring systems with three or even six and more amplifiers were used to determine strain and/or displacement. Some of them have been in use for more than four decades, which speaks for itself. Recently, several HBK Genesis HighSpeed data acquisition (DAQ) systems, such as GEN7t and GEN17tA, have been used in projects at different institutes at the University of Siegen.
Since materials respond differently to static and dynamic loadings, the investigation of material behavior is a topic of interest for research teams.
