Abstract

The structure of a 64-channel microprocessor strain-measuring system designed for operation with strain gauges and thermal transducers is discussed. The system measures strain and temperature during strength and thermal-strength tests of structures of machines and buildings. The computer codes have been designed in the Borland C++ Builder medium for operations with isolated transducers (1/4-bridge mode), and in the modes “1/2-bridge,” “bridge,” and “thermal transducer.” The system has been certified. The paper describes examples of its practical utilization in strength tests of struts of the Tupolev-154B airliner and of the undercarriage foreleg of an aerobatic airplane.
