A measurement device for measurement of forces in structural components, having a measurement sensor, which is embodied such that it is connected with the structural component in a force-fit and/or form-fit manner, and generates measurement signals as a function of force transfers in the structural component, the measurement device having a measurement casing upon the measurement sensor. Processing of received measurement signals can occur, and the measurement casing has connecting means, for placing in position and releasable attachment of the measurement casing on the structural component, and the contacting means of the measurement casing can establish contact with the measurement sensor for the reception of the measurement signals.

A monitoring device for a repair patch that can be placed on or in a wall of an aircraft to repair a defect has a sensor device for detecting properties of the repair patch placed in the wall, an energy supply device for supplying energy at least to the sensor device, and a communication device so as to read out the sensor data. A repair kit that can be placed in or on a wall of an aircraft to repair defects comprises a repair patch for repairing a defect in or on a wall of an aircraft and also comprises a monitoring device. A method for monitoring a repair patch in or on a wall of an aircraft by means of a monitoring device comprises the steps of detecting a measurement phase on the basis of the amount of energy provided by the energy supply device, measuring load parameters in and/or on the repair patch during the measurement phase, and reading out the load parameters.

A device for acquiring mechanical loads on mechanically loaded bodies is provided. The device exhibits a resonance-capable micro-bridge structure, an alternating voltage source with a variable frequency, an impedance measuring device for acquiring the impedance of the micro-bridge structure and an electronic unit for receiving determined impedance values and changing the frequency of the alternating voltage source. By exciting the micro-bridge structure and measuring its impedance, a conclusion can be drawn as to the expansion-dependent resonance frequency, which in return makes it possible to determine the expansion, and hence the mechanical load. Such a device is sufficiently accurate, and largely independent of outside influences.

An aircraft passenger seat has at least one seat element characterized by at least one monitoring apparatus for monitoring the seat element. The seat arrangement has a plurality of seats, wherein at least one seat includes at least one sensor module for monitoring a seat element and a control unit for checking and controlling the monitoring, wherein the at least one sensor module is in a data exchange relationship with the control unit.
