Abstract In this paper, an automatic calibration device for multi-channel resistance strain gauge indicator is designed and its applicability and measurement accuracy are verified at laboratory. The calibration done by original resistance bridge calibrator is time-consuming for its manual operation and complex calibration process. With the intent to increase calibration efficiency, an automatic channel switch device was developed, and the resistance bridge calibrator was automated. The designed calibration device is completely computer controlled enabling a sequence of unmanned measurements. The calibration device was verified at laboratory that the maximum of error is 0.072%. It was applied to calibrate a 60-channel resistance strain gage indicator to approve its practical applicability. The result shows that the designed calibration device can realize automatic calibration and the efficiency is increased by 40%.

The fiber Bragg grating sensor is widely used in strain monitoring of large metal structure and trend to replace the resistance strain gauge due to its advantages of strong stability, high measurement accuracy, multiple points measuring, strong environmental suitability and long transmission distance. The temperature-induced strain, which can have the same order of magnitudes as the mechanically-induced strain, will cause great errors in the strain monitoring. Therefore, the temperature compensation for the sensors is essential to guarantee the measurement accuracy. The existing theoretical models and experiment platforms for analyzing the temperature compensation are established by assuming that the testing temperature is constant. However, the surrounding temperature of some large metal structure is not stable, and the effect of temperature change cannot be neglected. This paper aims to establish an analytic model and an experiment platform to compare the temperature compensation of the fiber bragg grating sensor and the resistance strain gauge. The superiority of the temperature compensation for the fiber bragg grating sensor is verified. The result provides theoretical support for choosing the fiber bragg grating sensor in the long-time strain monitoring.

The function characteristics of bending moment and torque were analyzed based on the principle of torque measurement and the adverse effect of bending moment to torque measurement was proved theoretically. By distributing the positions of resistance strain gauge on the transmission shaft and the relative positions in the bridge, an effective method of eliminating the adverse effect of bending moment was proposed base on the principle of superposition and counterbalance in the bridge, and the potential errors were analyzed and corrected. Then the proposed method was applied in measuring the torque of a motor shaft. The result shows that the effect of bending moment has been eliminated, and this method is feasible and effective.
