摘要:
The invention relates to an on-line tension meter for an optic fiber. The tensile stress of a bare optic fiber is measured without contacting the optic fiber as the optic fiber is drawn in a draw machine. A loudspeaker causes a wire wave to be formed in the fiber. The fiber tension is then measured by the advancing speed of the wire wave. The speed is measured by means of two location-sensitive electro-optic indicators or cameras, the distance therebetween being known.

A method of and apparatus for measuring a tension by the steps of vibrating a measured object of a line- or belt-shaped configuration by the flow of air from an air nozzle so that the measured object is resonated, counting the number of vibrations of the measured object per second by the radiation of a laser light emitted from a very small distance measuring device, and calculating a resonance frequency of the measured object from the number of the vibrations to thereby obtain a tension of the measured object.

As an optical fiber (12) is being drawn, air (14) is directed at a portion of the fiber as a succession of air pulses, the pulses having a frequency near the natural frequency of the fiber portion. The frequency of the air pulses is then varied over a range of frequencies that includes the natural frequency of the fiber portion. When the air pulse frequency equals the natural frequency of the fiber portion, a resonance occurs which greatly amplifies the amplitude of the vibration of the fiber portion. The large deflection of the fiber that occurs at resonance is easy to detect, and the air pulse frequency which causes such maximum deflection is taken as being equal to the resonant frequency and therefore to the natural frequency of the fiber portion. Changes of the detected resonant frequency can be interpreted in a straightforward manner as changes in optical fiber tension which, in turn, are used to make compensatory changes of the temperature of the furnace (10).

Web tension measurement in that the web (5) is caused to oscillate transversely with the resonance frequency for the portion of the web (5) defined by a support (2,2a). The oscillations are measured by detectors (6,7) for determining the web tension. The measuring is carried out free of contact in that a thin air layer is maintained between the support (2,2a) and web (5).

The quality of dynamic behavior of tennis rackets and/or selected parts of tennis rackets is ascertained by vibrating the rackets and by monitoring one or more parameters of vibratory movement which are indicative of the quality of the corresponding part of or the entire racket. The rackets and/or selected parts of the rackets can be vibrated at a constant or at a variable frequency for selected intervals of time. The parameter may constitute the slope of the curves denoting the phase of vibration, the frequency of vibration, the width of the resonance frequency of the selected part and/or others.

Method of paper tension control to maintain the frequency and amplitude of paper flutter. A noncontacting sensor means is mounted adjacent a portion of the paper path in a paper manufacturing apparatus. The sensor means detects flutter in a paper web travelling across the paper path. The tension in the paper web can be determined from the frequency and amplitude of the flutter. By adjusting the tension in the paper web to maintain the flutter within a predetermined range of frequency and amplitude, the tension in the paper web can be maintained at a desired level.

A frame for being seated upon the fabric carries first and second spaced apart sensors capable of detecting the leading front of an acceleration wave as it passes each sensor. The first and second sensors each have an output, responsive to the presence of the acceleration wave, which can be coupled to a timer for measuring the time of flight of the acceleration wave between the two sensors. The velocity of the acceleration wave being determined by dividing the time of flight by the distance separating the sensors. An acceleration wave generating mechanism may also be carried by the frame and can include a solenoid oriented so that its armature impacts the fabric perpendicular thereto. Preferably the solenoid is energized by a pulse controlled by a solenoid energizing circuit. A noise immunity circuit connected to the sensors aids in discriminating against noise and transients.

Tension in a moving web is measured by subjecting the web to an ultrasonic pulse train and measuring the time interval for the resultant transverse waves in the web to proceed a known distance past a point upstream (or downstream). The composite web plus wave velocity is calculated and the web travel time is added (or subtracted) to obtain wave velocity which is related to tension in accordance with the equation T=a.sup.2 w/g.sub.c, where T=web tension, a=wave velocity, w=mass per unit area and g.sub.c =lb mass ft/lb force sec.sup.2 conversion factor.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for measuring tension in stressed cables in which use is made of the relationship between the tension and the natural frequency of vibration of the cable. An electrical signal is generated by sensing the fluctuating field of a small permanent magnet attached to the vibrating cable and generating from this signal a periodic pulse signal having an average level proportional to the square of the cable variation frequency. The resulting signal is scaled to produce a final signal which is directly proportional to cable tension.
