Mechanical impedance gauge based on measurement of strains on an impacted rod

• An impedance gauge based on measurement of strains at two cross-sections of a slender rod is studied. The gauge rod is in contact with the object at one end while it is impacted at the other end. The impedance is evaluated from the two strain signals by means of a two-channel FFT-analyzer and a desk-top computer. Gauge prototypes with cylindrical and conical geometries are tested in the frequency range 50 Hz to 5 kHz for cylindrical objects with known theoretical point impedances. Satisfactory agreement between experimental and theoretical impedances is obtained for both prototypes.
