Design and laboratory test results of the strain transducer intended for monitoring and assessing stress states of pipelines sited in mining areas are presented in this paper. This transducer allows measuring strains of pipelines subjected to external forces -being the mining operations effect. Pipeline strains can have a direct influence on a tightness loss and penetration of the transported fluid into the environment. The original strain gauge transducer was proposed for performing measurements of strains. It allows measuring circumferential strains and determining the value and direction of the main longitudinal strain. This strain is determined on the basis of measuring component longitudinal strains originating from axial forces and the resultant bending moment. The main purpose of investigations was the experimental verification of the possibility of applying the strain transducer for measuring strains of polyethylene pipelines. The obtained results of the transducer subjected to influences of tensile and compression forces are presented and tests of relaxation properties of polyethylene are performed.

The investigation results concerning comparisons of effects of the application of the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), Fourier Transform (FT) and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for the vibration signals decomposition, are presented in this paper. The record of the vibration accelerations signals of the electric torque tool was applied in investigations. It was shown that the FT transform, often applied in practice for vibration signals analysis can provide uncertain or erroneous information. Thus, it requires verifications by means of other methods, e.g. STFT or HHT. Streszczenie. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących porównania skutków zastosowania do dekompozycji sygnałów drgań transformacji Hilberta Huanga HHT, Fouriera FT oraz krótko-czasowej transformacji Fouriera STFT (Short Time Fourier Transform). Do badań wykorzystano zapis przykładowych sygnałów przyspieszeń drgań zakrętarki elektromechanicznej. (Dekompozycja sygnałów drgań mechanicznych -transformacja Hilberta-Huanga HHT w dziedzinie czasu a transformacja Fouriera w dziedzinie częstotliwości).
