Specifications Of Unit For Studying Forces In An Over Determinate Truss

The unit includes:

• Anodized aluminum frame.
• 10 bars made of stainless steel.
• A longitudinally adjustable surplus bar. Length: 400-450 mm.
• 3 bars of 425 mm long.
• 6 bars of 300 mm long.
• These bars can form several plane truss structures with different angles between bars.
• Maximum bar force: 500 N.
• Strain gauge to measure force on each bar.
• Five node discs, two of them are used to hinge the truss structure to the frame of the unit.
• A load application device with a force gauge mountable on different node discs. Range: -500 ... 500 N, graduations: 10N. This device  allows to generate straight and inclined external force.
• A fixture with a dial gauge, dial gauge measurement range: 0-20 mm.
