  • Miniature temperature-controlled triaxial tester for testing unsaturated soil suitable for micro-computed tomography (CT) scanning and method thereby
    Patent number: 11119056
    Abstract: A miniature temperature-controlled triaxial tester for testing unsaturated soil suitable for micro-computer tomography (CT) scanning and a method thereby. The triaxial tester includes a device body, where the bottom of the device body is fixed on a base, and the top of the device body is provided with a strain control device. The device body includes a vertically arranged polymethyl methacrylate shell, a PMMA inner cover is nested inside the PMMA shell, and a vacuum gap is formed between the PMMA shell and the PMMA inner cover; a pressure cell is formed by a space defined by the PMMA inner cover, a sample accommodating area for accommodating a test sample is arranged in the pressure cell, a heating element is arranged below the sample accommodating area and connected to a temperature control device, and a temperature sensor is arranged inside the PMMA inner cover and connected to a receiver.
