Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to experimental mechanics high temperature measurement technology, and in particular, to a kind of high temperature axial compression test specimen end displacement measuring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In actual engineering, axial compression members are widely used in buildings. In addition, building fires occur frequently, and the mechanical properties of axial compression members at high temperatures are of great concern. Therefore, the study of the ultimate bearing capacity of axial compression test specimens at high temperatures is of great significance, and the end displacement of the test specimen needs to be measured in this study. Common deformation displacement measurement methods include contact and non-contact methods. Contact mainly uses displacement meters for direct measurement, and non-contact uses digital image correlation measurement technology.

[0003] Compared with normal temperature, high temperature axial compression test has certain particularity: first, the test is carried out in a closed high temperature furnace, and the deformation displacement measuring device in the high temperature furnace must be resistant to high temperature, so the ordinary contact displacement meter measurement method is not available. Second, the existence of hot air disturbance in the high temperature environment will affect the measurement accuracy of the non-contact digital image correlation measurement technology, so this method is also not available.

[0004] In the current high temperature axial compression test, the deformation displacement is usually measured by pulling the line, and the molybdenum wire is used to connect the end plate of the axial compression test specimen in the high temperature furnace with the linear displacement meter outside the high temperature furnace to obtain the deformation displacement of the test specimen. In this method:

[0005] Firstly, the connection between the molybdenum wire and the end plate and the displacement meter is troublesome and unstable;

[0006] Secondly, since the molybdenum wire needs to be straightened as much as possible, the linear displacement meter will lose part of the range due to the tension of the molybdenum wire;
