Load cells are instruments
that monitor and measure the load in
structural members of geotechnical projects. Load cells come in different types
based on measurement technology and range.Vibrating wire load cellis one such instrument to measure force using a wire that vibrates
at high frequency. The external force that is applied transforms the tension on
the wire which results in frequency change.
It is a high strength steel cylinder with 3 to 6 transducers. The load
cells are mainly used to measure loads in rock boats, cable...

Dynamics of a Vibrating Wire Load Cell in Strata Measurement
As the name
suggests, a vibrating wire load cell
is an instrument that uses high frequency wire mechanism for measuring
load-bearing force. When the load bearing force weighs down on the instrument
the resulting impact causes tension on the wire which in turn, results in a
change in its frequency. This change in frequency is the indicator of the load
being measured; the measurement is usually accomplished with the help of a
sensor that is integrated into the instrument.
A vibrating
wire convergence meter is a vital
instrument for detecting...
