The constant light will then form a thin line between all the stroboscope
points from each signal. To identify the different signals belonging to
the same stroboscope flash an extra flash from an electronic flashlamp
can be used.
Calculating the velocity according to formula (1) gives corresponding
values of v and t. The function is adjusted according to the method
of least squares supposing a third order polynome:
v —a + bt + et2 + dt3 (3)
When this function is known the deceleration can easily be found:
For known values of the deceleration the force can be calculated
according to the wellknown Newton formula.
The measuring of the stretching of the band has a standard error of
0,5 mm. The relation between the force and the stretching is often
determined at "static" loading but with this method the relationship can
be obtained at dynamic loading.
