[0026] The light source 7 further comprises an adjusting knob 11, which is used for adjusting the height of the light source 7 so that the light can irradiate the mirror 4.

[0027] The wedge interference plate is composed of two glass plates 10 and a metal plate 5, wherein the two glass plates have a thickness of 2-3 mm, a width of 5-6 cm and a length of 65-80 cm, and the other end of the two glass plates 10 is fixed together under the action of the metal plate 5.

[0028] The pressure gauge adopts a similar model WDW-1E / 2E / 5E electronic universal testing machine, which mainly comprises a load frame, a limiting device 17, a pressure sensor, a controller, an actuator 12 and a wiring port 2.

[0029] The main part is the load frame and the actuator 12, which is usually composed of a column 13, an upper beam 14, a movable beam 15, a workbench 16 and a ball screw, the column 13 is vertically installed on both sides of the workbench, the upper end is fixedly connected with the upper beam, and the lower end is fixedly connected with the workbench, thereby forming a rigid frame, the ball screw is installed in the frame, the upper end is connected with the upper beam 14 through a bearing, and the lower end is connected with the frame table through a pulley or other ways, thereby forming a stable portal structure for supporting and guiding the movement of the movable beam 15, and the transmission system is driven by a motor (which is embedded in the bottom of the frame and connected with the movable beam through the ball screw), so that the movable beam moves up and down;

[0030] The actuator 12 is fixed on the movable beam 15, and according to the instruction of the controller, the pressure applied to the object is adjusted until the set pressure value is reached;

[0031] In the secondary part, the wiring port 2 is fixed on the upper beam, so that the pressure gauge can be connected with the computer;

[0034] The controller is embedded in the upper beam 14, which receives instructions and controls each component of the testing machine.

[0035] The utility model device schematic view is as shown in Figure 2 The utility model device schematic view is as shown in

[0036] First, one end of the two glass plates 10 is fixed together with the metal plate 5, and the other end is placed on the workbench 16 of the pressure gauge 3. Turn on the light source 7, adjust the fixed mirror 4, so that a bright field of view appears in the ocular lens 6, then adjust the coarse focusing screw 1 and the fine focusing screw 8, and detect whether the aperture fringe can be clearly appeared in the ocular lens 6. The wiring port 2 is fixed on the upper beam 15 of the pressure gauge 3, the pressure value is input on the computer connected with the pressure gauge 3 through the wiring port 2, then the actuator 12 in the pressure gauge 3 is driven by the movable beam 15 to apply pressure to the measured object, so that the measured object is slightly deformed, thereby changing the displacement of the aperture fringe, and finally the shear modulus is calculated through the formula.

[0037] The derivation process of the formula is introduced as follows. The shear measuring instrument mainly relies on the shear Hook's law of the tension meter to measure the tension and the optical interference principle to measure the wavelength, so the derivation of the formula involves two parts.

[0038] After the instrument is installed according to the above process, the sample to be measured is placed in the pressure gauge 3. The sample to be measured will be shortened in the height direction under the action of external force, that is, deformation occurs. Assuming that the shear surface area of the sample to be measured is A and the height is H. A pressure F is applied in the height direction, so that the sample to be measured is shortened , the ratio is the force per unit cross section, called stress; the ratio is the relative shortening of the object, called strain, which represents the size of the deformation of the object.

[0039] According to the basic formula of shear modulus in Hook's law,

[0040] (1)

[0041] In the formula, G represents the shear modulus, represents the shear stress, represents the shear strain, and from the force and area, it can also be represented as

[0042] (2)

[0043] Since the regular solid is used as the material, and can be measured by a general measuring tool, and F can be displayed on the computer connected with the pressure gauge in the experiment.

[0044] The shear modulus of the sample to be measured can be measured by the optical interference principle and the pressure gauge system. The specific device and measuring means are as follows: the sample to be measured is placed in the pressure gauge, and the other end of the two glass plates is placed on the upper and lower sides of the sample to be measured, respectively. The fringe spacing d is measured by adjusting the reading microscope; the pressure gauge applies pressure to the sample to be measured, so that it is slightly deformed For a wedge (wedge-shaped film), assuming that the change of the included angle of the wedge is (a very small angle), and the length of the wedge is L. They approximately satisfy the relationship

[0045] (3)

[0046] Assuming that the included angle of the wedge changes from to , the fringe displacement is . Generally, when the angle change is very small, a simpler formula can be obtained according to the approximate relationship. Assuming that the initial angle of the wedge is ,if ,and ,So

[0047] (4)

[0048] In the formula, N is the number of aperture fringes that are displaced. For wedge interference, the fringe spacing d and the initial wedge angle are... Wavelength of light The relevant formula is... ,So Substituting it into (4) yields

[0049] (5)

[0050] Substituting equations (3) and (5) into equation (2), we get:

[0051] (6)

[0052] The shear modulus of the test item can be calculated using equation (6).

[0053] The following is an embodiment of this utility model: (e.g.) Figure 2 Assemble the instrument as shown. Place the pressure gauge 3 on the stage of the reading microscope. Fix one end of the two glass plates 10 together with the metal plate 5, and then place the other end of the two glass plates 10 on the worktable 16 of the pressure gauge 3. Next, place the object to be measured between the two glass plates 10. Connect the pressure gauge 3 to the computer via the wiring port 2. This allows the magnitude of the force applied by the pressure gauge to be converted into an electrical signal and reflected in real time on the computer screen. The pressure sensor and controller in the pressure gauge 3 can be used to check whether the pressure gauge is working properly. Place the light source 7 directly in front of the reading microscope.

[0054] First, the interferometer needs initial adjustment. Turn on the light source 7 (helium-neon laser source, laser wavelength), and adjust the height of the light source using knob 11 until it is at the same height as the fixed reflector 4. Then adjust the fixed reflector 4 as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the light from the light source 7 is reflected by the fixed mirror 4 onto the two glass plates 10, and then onto the objective lens 9, thus creating a bright field of view in the eyepiece 6. First, rotate the coarse adjustment knob 1 to slowly lower the objective lens 9 until it approaches the pressure gauge 3; look into the eyepiece 6 with your left eye, and at the same time, rotate the coarse adjustment knob 1 in the opposite direction to slowly raise the objective lens 9 until the image is clear. Then, slightly rotate the fine adjustment knob 8 to make the image even clearer, and check whether the aperture fringes can be clearly seen in the eyepiece 6.

[0055] After observing the clear aperture fringe, rotate the fine focus screw 8, measure the interval d of the aperture fringe, and output a constant pressure value F to the computer connected with the pressure gauge 3, as shown in Figure 3 The pressure gauge 3 receives and transmits instructions through the internal pressure sensor and the controller, and the movable weighing scale 15 moves, and the actuator 12 applies corresponding pressure to the measured object according to the instructions of the controller, as shown in Figure 4 , so that the measured object is slightly deformed, according to the principle shown in Figure 6 The displacement of the aperture fringe changes, the fine focus screw 8 is rotated again, the number N of the aperture fringe and the displacement are read out, the height H of the measured regular object is measured by the screw micrometer, and the length and width are calculated, and the shear surface area A of the measured object is calculated, then the length L of the split tip is measured by the vernier caliper. The above values are substituted into the following formula to calculate the shear modulus of the measured object:

[0056] .
