The RSS-X series of acousto elastic sensors from IBJ Techhnology is used to measure variations in compressive stress and load, which allows stress evaluation when the material’s modulus of elasticity is unknown or anisotropic and inhomogeneous. Typical examples are concretes and drill holes in the rocks, where these instruments can be used include:
• Mining • Tunnel supports • Deformations of pillars • Dams and nuclear power plants • Structural members of buildings and bridges • Piles and cais
