Abstract
The invention concerns a method for determining a mechanical stress of a runner (), of a hydraulic machine (), wherein the runner is arranged to rotate around a rotation axis, wherein the hydraulic machine comprises a hydraulic channel delimited by hydraulic surfaces of the runner, the hydraulic surfaces being the surfaces against which a stream of water exerts the forces when the runner is driven in rotation by said stream of water, wherein the runner further comprises a sensor (G) on protected areas positioned away from the hydraulic channel,
