A monitoring method and system include an antenna disposed spaced from a structural member (SM), which itself can be the target object or attachable to a target object, without using any in-dwelling strain sensor. The antenna is arranged to not touch the SM in at least the no load condition. As the target object undergoes displacement and/or deformation, the SM undergoes displacement and/or deformation. The SM is juxtaposed, partially contained with, or fully contained within a magnetic or electromagnetic field and electromagnetically coupled to the emitting antenna. Characteristics of the electromagnetic field coupling between the antenna and the SM shift over time due to the displacement and/or deformation applied to the SM. The shift in the characteristics of the electromagnetic field coupling between the antenna and the SM over time can be used to determine the temporal change in deformation and/or displacement of the SM over time to enable diagnosis of the target structural object being monitored.

A balance and runout amount adjustment system for a rotary tool includes a rotary tool constituted of a tool holder mounted on a spindle, a balance determining device configured to obtain outer circumference position data of the rotary tool and to determine a mass balance of the rotary tool based on the outer circumference position data obtained, in the course of rotation of the rotary tool and a runout determining device configured to obtain shape data of the rotary tool and to determine a runout amount of the rotary tool based on the shape data obtained, in the course of rotation of the rotary tool. The rotary tool is configured to be capable of adjustment of the mass balance based on the result of the determination made by the balance determining device and capable also of adjustment of the runout amount based on the result of the determination made by the runout determining device.

The present invention discloses an experiment device and a method for detecting abrasion of a conveyer. The device comprises a rack, a reciprocation sliding mechanism, a speed adjusting mechanism and a crankshaft, wherein the reciprocation sliding mechanism comprises scrapers and scraper chains; the scraper chains are arranged between an upper-layer scraper and a lower-layer scraper; the speed adjusting mechanism comprises a motor, a friction driving wheel and a friction driven wheel; the motor is connected with the friction driving wheel through a motor shaft; the friction driving wheel slides on a shaft in an axial direction; speed adjustment can be achieved by changing the distance between the centers of the friction driving wheel and the friction driven wheel. Due to the adoption of the speed adjusting motor, the speed can be precisely controlled; as the crankshaft is arranged on the shaft of the friction driven wheel and connected with the reciprocation sliding mechanism through two connecting rods respectively, the scraper chains and chain devices are driven in a reciprocation manner at the adjusted speed, so as to realize reciprocation motion of a material inside a groove. The present invention can simulate friction between friction pairs of the actual conveyer well when the material is conveyed, and avoid experiment on a complex conveyer structure.

A weight applicator system includes a shaft, an applicator assembly, and a weight feed assembly. The shaft defines a length between a proximal end and a distal end configured to support a wheel-tire assembly for common rotation about a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The applicator assembly is supported by the shaft and includes a base portion disposed upon the shaft and operable to translate axially along the length of the shaft, a radial portion connected to the base portion and operable to radially move relative to the base portion between a retracted position and an extended position; and a pressure roller rotatably supported by the radial portion about an axis of rotation. The weight feed assembly is operable to feed a prescribed length of weighted material to the pressure roller.
