DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AS REQUESTED BY PARTICIPANTS

Presented by:

• Mr Kevin Davidson has almost 30 years experience in the instrumentation field. Most of those 30 years incorporate selection of strain gauges for various stress analysis projects in industries including Automotive, Defence, Research, Education, Aerospace and power plants. Davidson Measurement's association with Measurements Group commenced in 1987 and since that time Kevin Davidson has received extensive training in the presentation of these stress analysis workshops.

• Don't miss out on your opportunity to learn more about Stress Analysis or to refresh your technique.
