Abstract
An extensometric sensor for measuring stresses acting on a drilling element at a bottom of a well, with the sensor including a first measurement zone formed from at least two traction blades, on which are mounted measurement gauges, connected at their ends by uprights so as to form a first deformable parallelogram, with the traction blades being oriented in a first direction. A second measurement zone is formed of at least two torsion blades, on which are mounted measurement gauges, connected by cross pieces so as to form a second deformable parallelogram, with the torsion blades being oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first and second zones are connected and the same is mounted on a drilling element, with the cross pieces and uprights having large dimensions with respect to the torsion blades and the traction blades.
