A method for ascertaining deformations of a geometric body or for measuring forces or torques acting thereon using force measuring sensors or deformation measuring sensors. A plurality of such sensors are arranged on the geometric body in at least two groups. A first group of sensors registers forces acting on the geometric body or deformations of the geometric body in a first spatial direction with reference to a coordinate system fixed relative to the geometric body. A second group of sensors registers forces acting on the geometric body or deformations thereof in a second spatial direction with reference to the coordinate system fixed relative to the geometric body, which is independent of the first spatial direction. Signal outputs of the sensors are compared to one another for the purpose of registering and evaluating signals and for determining or assessing force components or deformation components acting in different spatial directions.
A method for ascertaining deformations of a geometric body or for measuring forces or torques acting on the geometric body with the aid of force measuring sensors or deformation measuring sensors, wherein multiple force measuring sensors or deformation measuring sensors are arranged in at least two groups on the geometric body, in such a way that a first group of force sensors or deformation sensors registers forces imposed on the geometric body or deformations of the geometric body in a first spatial direction with reference to a coordinate system fixed relative to the geometric body, and a second group of force sensors or deformation sensors registers forces acting on the geometric body or deformations of the geometric body in a second spatial direction with reference to the coordinate system which is fixed relative to the geometric body, which is independent of the first spatial direction, and that signal outputs of the force sensors or deformation sensors are correlated with one another for the purpose of registering and evaluating signals and for determining or assessing force components or deformation components acting in different spatial directions.
