Development of a Circular Displacement Sensor Capable of Measuring Self Deformation of Circular Structures
Abstract:
Generally, a straight displacement transducer is used to obtain displacement data to verify the safety of structural members and structures. A straight displacement transducer is also used to measure the absolute displacement in research laboratories or safety inspection sites such as bridges and buildings. In this study, for structures in which the displacement sensor could not be fixed at the location where the displacement was to be measured, a circular displacement transducer was manufactured to measure the displacement by installing a displacement gauge on the structure itself. In other words, when measuring the horizontal displacement of an upper part, such as a wind tower, a circular displacement transducer was installed inside the wind tower to integrate it with the structure, applying the principle that the structure itself can be used as a displacement transducer. This circular displacement transducer can be installed and used inside a circular structure. Whereas in the case of a telephone pole, it can be installed outside to measure displacement. It can be manufactured in various sizes and used.
