Title: Lawrence M. Robertson and a Method for Tensile Testing Cable Bundles.
Introduction
Lawrence M. Robertson is an inventor associated with Albuquerque, New Mexico. His work includes a patented method and device designed to improve tensile testing of stranded cables, ropes, and other composite structures.
Latest Patents
Robertson’s patent, “Method and Device for Tensile Testing of Cable Bundles,” describes an improvement to a standard tensile test device. The invention uses a two-part witness attached to the top and bottom mounting blocks that hold the cable specimen. A stem on the lower rod fits into a hollow opening in the upper rod, forming a joint with a small gap between the rods. An extensometer spans this gap and measures its expansion as force separates the mounting blocks. Because the witness gap expands by the same length as the test specimen, the device can accurately measure the specimen’s mechanical properties. Robertson is credited with 1 patent.
Career Highlights
The patent lists the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force, as the assignee. This work reflects an application of measurement technology to the testing of cable bundles and related composite structures.
Collaborations
Robertson’s listed coworkers include James C. Goodding and Vit Babuska.
Conclusion
Lawrence M. Robertson’s patented testing method provides a way to measure the tensile behavior of cable bundles more accurately by tracking specimen elongation through a calibrated witness gap.
