    Direct & Inverted Pendulum

    Uploaded by

    Anonymous kxOcSmhc
    Pendulums are designed to accurately measure the relative internal horizontal displacements of points along a true vertical line. There are two main types: direct pendulums, which have a wire suspended from an upper point with a reading station fixed below, and inverted pendulums, where the fixed end is grouted at the lower point and a float tensions the wire vertically. Readings can be taken manually using sighting tables or optically with a coordinoscope, or remotely for automatic data collection. Pendulums offer high accuracy, long-term reliability, and can monitor structural movements in buildings, dams, bridges and other infrastructure.

    Direct & Inverted Pendulum

    Pendulum

    EASY MONITORING
    LONG-TERM RELIABILITY
    ACCURACY GREATER THAN WITH GEODESIC SURVEYS

    Pendulums are designed to accurately measure the relative internal horizontal displacements
    of points along a true vertical line

    Description Key Features

    Direct pendulum  High accuracy and resolution


    The direct pendulum consists of a wire suspended from the upper  Long-term reliability
    point and a reading station fixed to the structure at the lower point.  Accuracy greater than with geodesic surveys
    The wire is tensioned by a suspended weight submerged in a  Regular monitoring without frequent costly surveys
    damper tank.
     Telependulum for remote readings and automatic data
    Inverted pendulum acquisition
    The fixed end of the inverted pendulum is grouted at the lower point
    of the system. A float tensions the wire vertically. When anchored to
    a fixed point in the foundation, it measures absolute displacement of Applications
    points along the wire.
     Monitoring of movements within dams, dam founda-
    The monitoring of the wire position for both direct and inverted pen- tions, nuclear power stations, viaducts and bridge
    dulums can be done manually and/or electrically with a remote
    piers
    readout unit (ref: Model RxTx Telependulum – see separate bro-
     Monitoring of structural and foundation movements in
    chure). The method of reading depends upon the concept of moni-
    toring, the expected values of movements, and the accuracy re- buildings
    quired.  Reference for surveying monitoring method

    Manual Reading Options and Interpretations

    A) Sighting reading table Model 76


    To take a reading, the operator aligns the cursors with their respective
    sights and with the pendulum wire. The positions of the cursors are
    read directly off the scale and the vernier cursor. The readings are
    converted to wire displacement values using the chart provided with
    each reading station.

    B) Optical coordinoscope Model MVR


    The setup consists of a reference base permanently installed at the
    reading point. The coordinoscope is then installed on its reference
    section respectively at X and Y axes on the base frame. Measurements
    are taken by focusing or aiming the lens at the pendulum wire and by
    reading the current lateral displacement on the vernier. Reading Table Model 76
