The invention relates to a device and a method for measurement, in particular to the method for calculating the mechanical properties of a series of
rock sample materials by recording relationships between testing forces / loads and indentation depths / displacements at different moments. The device comprises a rack, a
DC motor, displacement measurers, a rigid flat-
bottom pressure head and a sample fixing
station, wherein the rack is divided into two
layers; the upper layer of the rack is provided with the
DC motor of which one end is connected with the rigid flat-
bottom pressure head; the displacement measurers are distributed about the rigid flat-
bottom pressure head; and the sample fixing
station is fixed on a base of the lower layer of the rack. The reliability and effectiveness of the method can be evaluated by comparing basic rock
mechanical property measurement results with those obtained by other conventional testing means. In addition, compared with conventional mechanical test methods such as single-pressing tests, single-pulling tests,
triaxial compression tests and the like in laboratories, the method has the advantages of short test process, simplicity and convenience of operation, low requirements on samples, economy and the like.
