Abstract: A resonant wire instrument for producing a measurement signal, which is derived from the resonant frequency of a vibratable wire tensioned in accordance with the magnitude of a physical variable being measured, wherein a force impulse produced mechanically by an apparatus is applied to displace laterally one end of the vibratable wire so as to excite the wire into resonant motion. In one embodiment, the one end is rigidly attached to a housing and a piston applies a transverse force impulse to that end by momentarily striking the housing. In another embodiment, the one end is connected to a piezoelectric crystal which responds to a short-duration electric field to displace momentarily that end. In one species of this other embodiment, the crystal is made to oscillate at the resonant frequency of the tensioned wire by the application of an alternating-polarity voltage signal that is generated by a voltage source having an output connected to the crystal, and a feedback circuit coupled to receive the measurement signal operates to produce a control signal that is used for controlling the voltage source so that the voltage signal being applied to the crystal has a frequency which varies in accordance with changes in the resonant frequency of the wire.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fiber optical device for measuring physical magnitudes such as force, elongation, pressure, acceleration, temperature, etc., comprising a transducer unit and an electronic unit, in which the quantity to be measured is supplied to the transducer unit to affect the resonance frequency of an oscillating body included in the tansducer unit by changing the dimensions, mass, density, modulus of elasticity and/or mechanical stress of the body. A property of the body oscillation, such as frequency, phase position and/or amplitude, is used as a value of the quantity to be measured. The oscillations of the body are detected optically by means of a fiber optical position/movement detector.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a Material's (“MTL”) mechanical properties. The methods comprise: coupling a first end of MTL to a First Mechanical Mechanism (“FMM”) movable in a First Direction (“FD”) and coupling a second end of MTL to a Second Mechanical Mechanism (“SMM”) movable in a Second Direction (“SD”); applying a first Pulling Force (“PF”) to MTL; applying an Oscillating Force (“OF”) to MTL; applying a second PF to MTL so as to cause any undulations in MTL to be removed and to cause a loading of fibers or polymeric units that support MTL; allowing MTL to oscillate through a series of cycles of loading and unloading; measuring a strain/stress on MTL as a function of time; determining a natural frequency of MTL based on the strain/stress; and determining an elastic modulus of MTL using the natural frequency.

Abstract: The tension of a belt is determined accurately at a low cost. A natural-frequency measurement device is configured to measure, in a belt transmission system including at least two pulleys between which a belt is stretched, the natural frequency of the belt based on a vibration generated by hitting a portion of the belt stretched between two adjacent ones of the at least two pulleys, and includes: an acceleration sensor attached to the portion of the belt to sense acceleration resulting from the vibration of the belt; and a measuring instrument configured to measure the natural frequency of the belt based on the acceleration sensed by the acceleration sensor. The measuring instrument transmits the natural frequency to a belt tension calculator which determines the tension of the belt based on the natural frequency.
