Loading of Struts Unit
Specifications of Loading of Struts Unit
- The
unit is mounted on a structure of anodized aluminum profiles with
painted steel plates , which has adjustable legs installed.
The unit basically consists of:Two porticoes:
- A
1 m. height portico, where the test struts are placed. It is designed
to accommodate struts of different height by using two pins. Therefore,
at the upper and lower parts, there are special clamps to subject the
strut to the desired ends conditions.
- A
50 cm. height portico, where the experimental strut will be subjected
to load by means of a spring balance situated at the upper part and
which will tend to elevate the lower beams, so the experimental strut
will be subjected to compression.
- Bubble level to equilibrate the system.
- Regulation nut which, together with a bubble level, will allow to equilibrate the horizontal beams.
- Balance 0-50 kg to measure the strut compression load, with 200 g accuracy.
- Weight of 1 kg.
- Dial
gauge, measurement range: 0-20 mm, precision: 0.01 mm, to check the
strut flexion according to the experimental strut is subjected to load.
- Accessory to create perturbing load over the test strut, which consists of support, pulley and set of masses.
Set of masses, composed of:
- 5 masses of 50 gr.
- 4 masses of 10 gr.
- 1 hook of 100 gr.
Set of test struts, composed of
- 15 struts of rectangular section, of different lengths and different conditions at the ends.
- 15 struts of circular section, of different lengths and different conditions at the ends
