摘要: An extensometer having two spaced-apart mounting bases adapted to be mounted on a load-bearing structure with its axis of sensitivity intersecting the axis along which load-induced strains are generated at 45.degree.. The extensometer includes a pair of parallel links connecting the mounting bases through respective flexure hinges. In one embodiment, one of the links is also connected to one of the bases through an intermediate flexure hinge so that the link deforms responsive to relative movement applied between the bases along the axis of sensitivity. A strain gauge mounted on this link measures the magnitude of the deformation. In a second embodiment, a strain-instrumented measurement beam extends between the two links so that it deforms responsive to pivotal movement of the links as the mounting bases move in opposite directions along the axis of sensitivity. This embodiment of extensometer may be mounted on the load-bearing structure through three or more mounting points. In order to facilitate mounting of the extensometer on a structure without pre-straining the extensometer, a rigid plate may be connected to the extensometer through a plurality of pins, each of which extends from the plate through the extensometer at each of the mounting points. The pins terminate in a point and they are biased against the structure by a threaded fastener extending from the plate, through the extensometer, and into the structure.

摘要: A strain sensor or extensiometer with electrical output designed to measure relative displacements between two axially spaced points on a stressed structure comprising an elongated body with two end sections and a centrally located flexible beam extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sensor body. Relative displacements of the end sections generate two opposing symmetrical torques at the ends of the beam. These torques or bending moments are impressed onto the beam through two sets of flexible bridges which are symmetrically located but unequally spaced on opposite sides of the beam. These two torques or couples cause the beam to bend evenly over its entire length. Resistance strain gages bonded to both sides of the beam at its center measure this bending.

摘要: A load cell having a parallelogram configuration formed by a pair of spaced-apart, generally parallel force-receiving members interconnected by a cantilever beam and a parallel spacer beam. The cantilever beam projects perpendicularly from one of the force-receiving members, and its end is secured to the other beam by a flexure hinge. The ends of the spacer beam are secured to the force-receiving members by respective flexure hinges. In order to maintain the parallelogram configuration of the load cell, the length of the spacer beam is equal to the length of the cantilever beam from the beam's virtual pivot point to its end. Rotational moments imparted to the force-receiving members apply forces to the beams along their longitudinal axes without deflecting the cantilever beam, thus making the load cell insensitive to such moments. A reduced thickness portion instrumented with semiconductor strain gauges is formed in the cantilever beam near its point of attachment with the force-receiving member. The reduced thickness portion accurately positions the virtual pivot point of the beam and it concentrates the stress at the strain gauges. The load cell may be used in a scale by securing one of the load-receiving members on a base and mounting a load-receiving tray on the other load-receiving member.

摘要: A strain sensor is provided which includes a base member and a pair of mounting points for mounting the base member to a support structure supporting a vessel for weighing the contents of the vessel. The base member defines a cylindrically shaped well located at the center of base member. The area of the base member within the well defines a pair of apertures symmetrically located on opposite sides of a central longitudinal axis of the base member. The base member also defines a pair of notches located on opposite edges of the base member which run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base member. An axial strain sensing element is mounted in the well along the longitudinal axis of the base member for sensing the axial strain in the support structure. In addition, a transverse strain sensing element is mounted in the well perpendicular to the axial strain sensing element for detecting strain a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base member.

摘要: An isotropic strain sensor having four mounting points interconnected by four legs, two of which are bowed toward each other and two of which are bowed away from each other. A strain sensing element mounted on at least one of the legs provides an electrical indication of the deflection of the leg. As a result, the strain sensor measures isotropic strains in an object to which the strain sensor is attached through the mounting points. Another embodiment of the strain sensor utilizes three mounting points interconnected by legs, two of which are bowed outwardly and one of which is bowed inwardly. Both embodiments of the strain sensor produce outputs that are a nonlinear function of the sensed isotropic strain. This nonlinear characteristic allows the strain sensor to provide an output that is a linear function of the load applied between the center and outer periphery of a freely supported disc that has a strain that is a nonlinear function of the applied load.
