Automatic Data Acquisition Workstation for Structural and Building System Testing

研究设备包括带有传感器的自动数据采集工作站和带有绘图仪的计算机，以完成现有的结构测试系统。西弗吉尼亚大学土木工程系拥有一流的结构测试设施，包括各种荷载框架、MTS系统、2500平方英尺的测试地板和许多其他项目。目前的MTS伺服液压闭环系统进行了现代化改造，耗资约52,000美元。目前MTS系统的项目将提高研究能力。对设备的迫切需求来自三个领域：a)测试结构系统；b)测试土壤和材料；以及c)测试生物工程结构部件(正畸器械-牙桥和支撑)。

Research equipment includes an automatic data acquisition workstation with sensors and computer with plotter to complete an existing structural testing system. The Department of Civil Engineering at West Virginia University has excellent structural testing facilities including a wide range of load frames, MTS system, 2500 square feet of test floor and many other items. The present MTS servohydraulic closed-loop system was modernized spending some $52,000. The items for the present MTS system will improve research capabilities. The immediate need for the equipment comes from three areas: a) testing of structural systems; b) testing of soils and materials; and, c) testing of bioengineered structural components (orthodontic appliances - tooth bridge and bracing).
