Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Science - Physics / testing device
Japanese term or phrase: 定容積直接せん断試験機
In an experiment involving the development of a machine, this device was used to measure friction angles, in Japanese, 摩擦角.
I guess it would be something like a "constant volume shearing test device," but I don't know and I don't want to guess. If you are familiar with this, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks.
