Title: Innovations of Mian Tian in True Triaxial Testing Systems

Introduction

Mian Tian is a notable inventor based in Shenyang, China. He has made significant contributions to the field of rock mechanics through his innovative patents. With a total of two patents to his name, Mian Tian has focused on enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of true triaxial testing systems.

Latest Patents

Mian Tian's latest patents include a clamp of elastic box for a stiff true-triaxial testing system and a displacement monitoring method for cuboid specimens. The clamp features six pressing plates and eight plate springs, forming an elastic pressure box. One surface of this elastic pressure box is disassemblable, simplifying the rock sample mounting process and saving time. The springs connected to the pressing plates ensure the stability of the clamp without affecting the stress state of other surfaces of the rock sample during testing, thereby ensuring test accuracy. Additionally, the invention provides a displacement monitoring method using the elastic box clamp, with six displacement sensors mounted to monitor the rock sample's displacement in real time.

Another significant patent is the true triaxial testing system designed for disturbance experiments with broadband and low amplitude of high-pressure hard rock. This system includes a low-frequency disturbance true triaxial mechanism, a variable-frequency low-speed disturbance rod mechanism, and a rapid single-side unloading type specimen box. The mechanisms are arranged along a straight line and can be used independently or in cooperation, enhancing the testing capabilities for rock samples.
