The invention discloses a preparation and clamping testing device of a variable-thickness hydrogel tensile sample with preset clamping rings, and belongs to the technical fields of functional polymermaterials and
experimental mechanics. The sample is molded through mold
casting, wherein a mold is rectangular, the inner cavity is in the shape of a
dumbbell and is divided into a clamping section, atransition section and a scale distance section in the length direction, each part meets certain dimension requirements, the three sections are symmetrically distributed by taking the scale distancesection as a center, and the cross section of each section is rectangular; the clamping section and the scale distance section are connected by adopting arc-shaped transition, and are used for avoiding
stress concentration. The clamping rings in a pair are prepared, and are placed at the corresponding positions of the clamping sections in advance. Blended hydrogel is poured into a mold cavity, thevariable-thickness hydrogel tensile sample with the clamping rings is obtained after solidification and demolding, and a clamp prepared by a testing
machine is used for clamping, so that the operation of a tensile test is carried out. The hydrogel can be effectively prevented from sliding or breaking in the clamping part, and simultaneously,
strain measurement is further convenient to perform byadopting an optical
stress measurement technology, so that the testing result is more accurate.
