Design and Testing of a Flexible Inclinometer Probe for Model Tests of Landslide Deep Displacement Measurement

چکیده
The physical model test of landslides is important for studying landslide structural damage, and parameter measurement is key in this process. To meet the measurement requirements for deep displacement in landslide physical models, an automatic flexible inclinometer probe with good coupling and large deformation capacity was designed. The flexible inclinometer probe consists of several gravity acceleration sensing units that are protected and positioned by silicon encapsulation, all the units are connected to a 485-comunication bus. By sensing the two-axis tilt angle, the direction and magnitude of the displacement for a measurement unit can be calculated, then the overall displacement is accumulated according to all units, integrated from bottom to top in turn. In the conversion from angle to displacement, two spline interpolation methods are introduced to correct and resample the data; one is to interpolate the displacement after conversion, and the other is to interpolate the angle before conversion; compared with the result read from checkered paper, the latter is proved to have a better effect, with an additional condition that the displacement curve move up half the length of the unit. The flexible inclinometer is verified with respect to its principle and arrangement by a laboratory physical model test, and the test results are highly consistent with the actual deformation of the landslide model.

Landslide is a phenomenon of mass movement of terrain. In order to prevent landslide, understanding the behavior of the landslide is important. The behavior of the landslide is usually measured by extensometer, inclinometer or GPS (global positioning system). These equipments are measuring some points or along the lines; it is difficult to measure the whole landslide area. Currently, it is expe...
