METHOD OF AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING DEFORMATION OF VEHICLE BODY AT ROAD ACCIDENT

摘要

FIELD: transport engineering; measuring and checking facilities. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measuring of residual deformation of vehicle body after road accident. Proposed device contains contactless analog distance pickups and thickness measuring pickup. Distance pickups are arranged on bracket displaced in vertical and horizontal planes. Device contains also mount on end of which pickup of ultrasonic precision thickness gauge is found. Use of proposed device reduces labor input in measuring deformation of surfaces of complex form which makes it possible to carry out operative checking at place of road accident for estimating its causes, determining initial speeds of collision of vehicle with other vehicle or obstacle, and evaluating shock and strength properties of vehicle bodies. ^ EFFECT: reduced labor input in checking deformation of vehicle bodies after collision. ^ 2 cl, 2 dwg
