... the tests. Chain sliding was performed in both wet and dry conditions. Twenty strain gauges were attached to five links of each specimen except for the two end-links to measure three OPB and two IPB moments at mid-link. Twelve strain gauge rosettes were used on three links to evaluate SCF on the OPB...

... tested at five tension levels from 150, to 350 t. Testing was performed in both wet and dry conditions. Twenty strain gauges were used to measure 3 OPB and 2 IPB moments at 5 mid-link positions. Twelve strain gauge rosettes were used on 3 links to evaluate SCF s on the OPB hotspots. Seven inclinometers...

... Bending (OPB), In- Plane-Bending (IPB) and Bending-Tension (BT). The objective of the investigations conducted by AMOG Consulting following completion of the Chain FEARS JIP research was to explore the extent to which the developed fatigue method could be applied more universally to address these emergent...
