AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing geomembrane clamps are difficult to hold securely in laboratory horizontal tensile tests, are prone to slippage, and perforation fixation can lead to stress concentration, affecting test results.

Method used

The design employs upper and lower clamping plates, using arc-shaped protrusions and arc-shaped grooves to interlock and clamp the geomembrane. It is secured by lifting threaded rods and pressure handles, and combined with chutes and rollers to reduce friction and prevent slippage and stress concentration.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a firm clamping method during tensile testing without damaging the integrity of the geomembrane, avoiding slippage and stress concentration, and improving testing accuracy.

Abstract

This utility model provides a clamp for horizontal tensioning of geomembranes in a laboratory, and the device relates to the field of hydraulic engineering technology. The clamp includes an upper clamping plate, a lower clamping plate, and a sliding groove; the upper clamping plate includes an upper plate and a protrusion; the upper surface of the lower clamping plate has a groove, and rollers are fixed to the lower surface, with several pressure devices fixed to the edge; the sliding groove provides a sliding track for the rollers on the lower surface of the lower clamping plate. This utility model can effectively solve problems such as unstable clamping of smooth geomembranes, stress concentration due to clamping effect, and the influence of clamp gravity effect on the horizontal tensile force data of the geomembrane.
