dc.description.abstract | The design of an instrument is described that measures three resultant force components and three resultant moment components acting on a surface. Within the framework of linear elastostatics of an isotropic homogeneous material the device separates to a given precision the six resultant load components. Sensor paths of finite length are employed. Moreover if fiber-optic differential displacement sensors are used rather than traditional electrical resistance strain gages, the range and sensitivity of the instrument can in principle be improved without sacrificing the device stiffness. The primary reason for these improvements is that a complete solution to the equations of elasticity allows certain displacements to be measured over large distances and be combined to yield all of the resultant load components. These displacement measurements over a long distance accommodates the use of fiber-optic interferometric sensors. The use of optical sensors in contrast with electrical-resistance gages, has the potential to allow the measurement precision and range to scale with the geometry of the device rather than the maximum strain in the instrument. It becomes possible by virtue of these features to produce a better instrument. | en_US |
