The invention relates to an integral elastic ship model load calibration device and calibration method, and the device comprises strain sensors which are disposed in
structural stress regions of a ship model
deck, a bottom plate, a side
strake and the like; the multiple
water storage tanks are arranged on the upper
deck of the ship model, tank bodies of the
water storage tanks are fixed to the cross beams below in a
bolt connection mode, air guide pipes are arranged at the tops of the
water storage tanks, and water passing pipes are arranged at the bottoms of the water storage tanks; one end of the air guide
pipe is connected with the vent hole of the
water storage tank, and the other end is connected with the air extractor; one end of the
water pipe is arranged at the bottom in the
water storage tank, and the other end is arranged below the water surface of the test
pool; and the air extractor is connected with the
water storage tank through an air guide
pipe. The device is compact and reasonable in structure and convenient to operate, the
water level in the water
storage tank is controlled through the air pumping and pressing
machine, and accurate application and control of the vertical
bending moment and the torque load of the ship model are achieved. The device has the beneficial effects of improving test accuracy and efficiency, keeping the floating state of the ship model stable and the like; according to the method, accurate loading and unloading are realized, and the
data processing flow is simplified.
