Redundant Truss Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-NGSP-11387
This product helps students to understand the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate truss structures made from a number of members held together by joints at their ends.
Strain gauges on each truss member measure the forces due to the load.
A precision indicator measures the framework deflection due to the load.
A hand-operated load cell assembly applies and measures the load.
A simple thumbscrew engages and disengages an extra redundant member.
Two supports hold the truss. One support allows rotation only and the other allows rotation and translation. Students apply a load to the truss at the free end Joint Boss.
Students apply loads to the truss initially without the extra redundant member engaged. This frame is stable and statically determinate (can be solved by static equilibrium).
Students may measure the deflection of the frame for both cases and compare.
The strain gauges connect to a strain gauge amplifier, which connects (with the load cell) to the interface hub of the Structures platform for computer display and data acquisition.
They then engage an extra redundant member, making the frame statically indeterminate, requiring a more advanced analysis such as the strain-energy method.
