Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE SHEAR RIGIDITY AND SHEAR VISCOSITY OF A SUBSTANCE COMPRISING A FIRST MEMBER HAVING A FIRST PLANE SURFACE, A SECOND MEMBER HAVING A SECOND PLANE SURFACE, SAID SECOND MEMBER PROVIDING A VOLTAGE OUTPUT PROPORTIONAL TO THE FORCE APPLIED TO SAID SECOND PLANE SURFACE, SAID FIRST PLANE SURFACE BEING OPPOSITELY DISPOSED AND SPACED FROM SAID SECOND PLANE SURFACE, THE SUBSTANCE TO BE INVESTIGATED BEING DISPOSED IN THE SPACE FORCED BETWEEN AND IN INTIMATE CONTACT WITH SAID FIRST AND SECOND PLANE SURFACES, MEANS FOR APPLYING AN OSCILLATING MOTION TO SAID FIRST MEMBER AND IN THE DIRECTION OF SAID FIRST PLANE OF SAID FIRST MEMBER THEREBY APPLYING A SHEAR FORCE TO SAID SUBSTANCE TO BE INVESTIGATED, WHEREBY THE FORCE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE MATERIAL BEING INVESTIGATED TO SAID SECOND PLANE SURFACE IS A FUNCTION OF THE COMPLEX SHEAR MODULUS OF THE MATERIAL BEING INVESTIGATED AND THE VOLTAGE OUTPUT OF SAID SECOND MEMBER BEING PROPORTIONAL TO THE SHEAR VISCOSITY AND SHEAR RIGIDITY OF THE MATERIAL BEING INVESTIGATED.
