Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of material testing, and in particular relates to a device for simulating dynamic bending behavior. Background Art

[0002] In fields such as industrial automation, medical equipment, and aerospace, slender rod- or tubular materials are widely used due to their unique connectivity, mechanical properties, and flexibility. Applications where one end is fixed and the other is bent are also very common. In these applications, materials are prone to bending-compression damage and fatigue damage. Therefore, understanding the bending properties of the material itself and monitoring its bending behavior can support material development and safety parameter regulation. In addition, most organisms also have bendable, slender rod- or tubular tissues and parts, such as fingers, wrists, upper and lower arms, blood vessels, and so on. The bending behavior of organisms often involves complex mechanical and biological mechanisms, and traditional simulation methods are often difficult to accurately replicate. However, using devices that can precisely control bending behavior can more accurately simulate the bending process of tissue parts, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the movement mechanisms of organisms. By simulating the bending behavior of organisms, intelligent monitoring materials that better match the movement characteristics of organisms can be matched, accelerating the optimization and improvement of materials.

[0003] While currently available technologies and methods, such as bend testers, strain gauge bend testers, optical bend gauges, electronic bend gauges, three-dimensional bend measurement systems, high-speed cameras, and image analysis systems, are capable of measuring the bending behavior of slender hoses, they have significant limitations. Bend testers are typically large, difficult to carry and operate, and require precise specimen installation and fixation. Optical bend gauges have strict requirements for lighting and environmental conditions, and optical measurement systems can be affected by factors such as lens distortion and optical noise. Electronic bend gauges can be affected by electromagnetic interference and temperature fluctuations, and typically require signal amplification and processing, which can lead to signal distortion and increased noise. These methods are often complex to operate, lack high accuracy, and cannot fully reflect the dynamic bending behavior of slender hoses. Utility Model Content
