Abstract:
A resistance compensator includes: a first probe line to attach to a structural member and to provide a first combination of displacement of the structural member and an expansion of the first probe line; a second probe line connected to the first probe line and in electrical communication with the first probe line; a resistance probe in electrical communication with the first probe line and the second probe line to provide a probe signal, wherein the resistance probe is connected to the first probe line at a probe junction; a displacement member in mechanical communication with the first probe line, the displacement member to: receive the first combination from the first probe line; and produce a displacement signal comprising the displacement of the structural member, the expansion of the first probe line, or a combination thereof.
