Experimental Set Stability of Structures- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Experimental Set Stability of Structures- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The set is intended for use with the
universal test frame and demonstrates simple stability problems. The
core of the set is a two-part test bar with a central joint at which the
buckling load can be determined under varying boundary conditions. The
elastic low-friction joint is represented by a torsion spring fitted
between the two parts of the test piece. Loading is performed
continuously using a lever with a set of weights. An exact scale on the
lever permits the load to be determined with precision. Varying clamping
is possible by means a steel spiral spring of variable length on the
lower bearing. A further set of weights with a cord is used to
generate lateral forces.
