Modernization of the "DP-3M" academic laboratory unit for experiments on strain-deformed state of elastomers
The article provides an overview of the work on the preparation of a strain gauge converter for an experimental study to measure the mechanical tension in elastic structure samples using gauges of various types and designs. In the absence of the possibility to purchase a new laboratory unit, the authors had to use parts of an old educational laboratory unit to measure the efficiency of a planetary transmission with changes to the design for measurement according to a quarter-bridge scheme (Wheatstone’s bridge).
