Estimating the term…
A device and method for holding a strain sensor for determining strain in an object includes a body. The body of the device includes a surface mountable frame, the frame being plate-shaped and including: at least two anchor portions for enabling attachment to a surface of the object, a strain sensitive region in an intermediate position between a first anchor portion and a second anchor portion of the at least two anchor portions, a sensor connection portion configured to hold at least one strain sensor for enabling attachment of the strain sensor to the frame in the strain sensitive region, and at least one elastic portion arranged in the strain sensitive region, the elastic portion being formed by a spring structure configured to modify a strain transmission from the object to the sensor connection portion of the frame. Preferably, the device holds a fiber optic strain sensor.
A body for holding a fiber optic strain sensor for determining strain in an object, the body comprising a surface mountable frame, the frame being plate-shaped and including:
A method for determining strain in an object using a body for holding a fiber optic strain sensor, the body comprising a surface mountable frame which is plate-shaped, the frame comprising at least two anchor portions for enabling attachment to a surface of the object, a strain sensitive region in an intermediate position between a first anchor portion and a second anchor portion of the at least two anchor portions, a sensor connection portion configured to hold at least one strain sensor for enabling attachment of the strain sensor to the frame in the strain sensitive region, and at least one elastic portion arranged in the strain sensitive region, the elastic portion being formed by a spring structure configured to modify a strain transmission from the object to the sensor connection portion of the frame, the method comprising:
A method for manufacturing a body for holding a fiber optic strain sensor for determining strain in an object, the body comprising a surface mountable frame, the frame being plate-shaped and including at least two anchor portions for enabling attachment to a surface of the object, a strain sensitive region in an intermediate position between a first anchor portion and a second anchor portion of the at least two anchor portions, a sensor connection portion configured to hold at least one strain sensor for enabling attachment of the strain sensor to the frame in the strain sensitive region, the method comprising:
