Structures - Static of rigid bodies

Article No: 13962-00

With this kit, students can apply loads at different points on the non-redundant truss and the redundant truss to investigate the tensile and compressive forces in each truss member. This kit consists of a redundant member that can be turned on and off using the thumbscrews.

Key Features
  • Students can learn to calculate the theoretical beam forces and compare them to the experimental beam forces.
  • Two suspension positions allow students to explore the idea of redundancy in frameworks and see how the load is transferred through the system.
  • A magnetic pulley allows students to apply inclined loads.
  • The construction is made from 2 mm thick mild steel and provides a strong and rigid base for conducting experiments.
