UNIT FOR VOLUMETRIC STRAIN-GAGING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01L5/13 

FIELD: instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: unit for volumetric strain-gaging includes measurement links, devices for fixation of measurement links and a working element with a stand. A vertically arranged measurement link is attached to the upper face of the stand as capable of perception of compression and extension deformations, and all other measurement links are installed in horizontal planes as capable of perception of compression deformations, besides, they are pointedly thrust at different sides against faces of the stand, providing for fixed position of the latter. The unit is equipped with at least six measurement links and provides for measurement of all components of spatial power characteristics of the working element.

EFFECT: possibility to simultaneously measure all six components of volumetric loading of a working element by external forces of resistance and possibility to use this device for testing of non-symmetrical working elements.
