Complete Structures
The complete set of Structures includes seven kits to teach students the commonly taught principles of Structures across college and universities worldwide, in the subject area of mechical engineering ...
Pin Jointed Frameworks
Item Number:
ST6365
This kit allows students to apply loads in different places on the pin joint framework to explore the tension and compression forces within each structure member. 6 load cells on each of the 6 structure members is connected directly to an LCD display for the output and to the USB inference for data acquisition.
Zero buttons next to the LCD display allows for student to zero the load cell output and setup the experiment each time.
Two hanging positions allow for students to explore the idea of redundancy in frameworks and how load is transmitted through the system. A magnetic pulley allows for students to apply angled loads as well. Students will learn to analysis the structure members using method of joints and method of sections, while using Bow’s notation.
Learning Objectives
- Method of joints
- Method of sections
- Bow notation’s
- Principle of superposition for multiple loads redundancy
