SPECIFICATION

  • Fits to the Structures platform for ergonomic use
  • Strain gauge amplifier and multiple strain gauges for a complete measurement of strain at different positions around the beam section
  • T-section beam for stability with an offset neutral axis
  • Includes Vernier caliper for beam cross-section measurement
  • Should be supplied a storage tray to keep smaller items safe
  • Works with user-friendly software VDAS
  • User can understand the bending stresses at various positions of a beam section due to a load
  • Users can add loads to an inverted T-section beam held on two supports
  • Strain gauges at different heights up the beam measure the strains due to the load
  • A load cell measures the force applied at the mid span of the beam
  • Users can apply the load and measure the resulting strains
  • The strain gauges connect to a strain gauge amplifier, which connects (with the load cell) to the USB interface hub of the Structures platform for computer display and data acquisition
  • Load cell capacity: 650N or higher
  • Accessories: Hexagon tools for beam fixings, Vernier caliper, Inclinometer & printed manual should be supplied as standard.
  • Experiments can be Performed:
  • Stress and strain relationship
  • Strain gauges as instruments
  • Finding the neutral axis by experiment and calculation
  • How the beam cross-section dimensions affect the second moment of area (I value) and neutral axis
