Technical Description
Using this benchtop unit, the resolution
of forces and analysis of the distribution of forces in simple
frameworks can be demonstrated. The unit comprises three members that
are joined together using discs such that the joints are free to move.
One of the members is available in three different lengths so that the
angle between the members can be adjusted. The members engage in the
discs using snap action connections. Two of the discs also form the
bearings and are clamped to the strong base frame made of aluminium
section. One of the discs is designed as a self-aligning support. A
weight carrier is hung on the framework to provide a defined load. The
forces are measured using mechanical displacement gauges connected to
leaf springs, these are fitted in the middle of the members.
