  • Kilobar range stress gauge
    Patent number: 4092856
    Abstract: A free field stress gauge capable of dynamic and static response in the kbar (nominally 15,000 p.s.i.) range is disclosed. A first embodiment of the stress gauge of this invention comprises two circular plates, one of which is concentrically grooved. The other plate of the two circular plates serves as a cover plate. Strain gauge sensors are mounted on the inner ring or tube of the concentrically grooved plate. These sensors measure strains of the inner ring or tube induced by and proportional to stresses applied to the flat faces of the gauge. The second embodiment which operates in the same manner as the first embodiment is a solid column type of stress gauge.
