Patent number: 5379644Abstract: A strain or stress gauge 1A is presented for measuring the stress of a structure or a member. The gauge 1A comprises a bundle of electric conductive fibers 3, and a pair of terminals 4, for measuring an electric resistance of the bundle of electric conductive fibers provided on both ends thereof. It presents a strain or stress gauge having a simple structure, which can be produced inexpensively, and its size can be chosen freely. It is possible to know not only the state of a strain or stress but also the history of stress in a structure or a structural member which, by the characteristics of a specific curve relating the stress/strain relationship of the gauge.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1992Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignees: Shimizu Costruction Co., Ltd., Hiroaki YanagidaInventors: Hiroaki Yanagida, Masaru Miyayama, Norio Muto, Minoru Sugita, Teruyuki Nakatsuji, Yasushi Otsuka
