Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus

Product Description

Description of Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus The Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus enables students to assemble two Pin-Jointed Frameworks (warren and basic roof truss) to measure the strains (hence stresses) and joint deflections. Each member of the framework can be easily interconnected with each other by use of simple joints that are designed to create a truly pin joint. The Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus mount onto two end supports. One support has a pivoting arrangement whilst the other has pivoting and rolling arrangement. The loads on the Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus are applied at known joints by using the screwjack loading mechanism supplied. Each framework member has a strain gauge arrangement attached. The signal from the loading mechanism and strain gauges is fed directly into the Interface Experimental Capabilities of Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus To allow the study of strains within various true pin jointed frameworksTo allow the study of stresses within various true pin jointed frameworksTo arrange a variety of frameworks including roof trusses, warren girderIntroducing students to strain gauging technologyComparison of different frameworksComparison of actual and theoretical results Specifications of Pin Jointed Frameworks Apparatus To have each framework member strain gauged with output to InterfaceTo have load applied at different joints using loading mechanism with integral load cell and output to InterfaceTo have available an additional loading mechanism for applying simultaneous loads at other jointsMust have digital dial gauge on movable arm to measure joint deflectionMust be used with universal Frame and StandMust be used with InterfaceComprehensive instruction manual provided
