  • Removable strain gauge fixture and method for measuring accumulated strain in a material
    Patent number: 4526039
    Abstract: The invention encompasses a removable strain gauge fixture, and a method for measuring accumulated stress in a structural component, such as a railroad rail. The strain gauge fixture generally comprises first and second side pieces connected by a strain concentrating bar of reduced cross-section, an electronic strain sensor mounted on the bar, and first and second tapered pins extending from the front faces of each of the side pieces. The tapered pins transmit accumulated strain from the component being measured to the strain focusing bar when the pins are inserted into mating holes in the component.
