FAILURE PACKAGE
Complete package for study of Failure. The package includes Euler Buckling of a Column, Plastic Bending of Beams, Plastic Bending of Portals and all the hardware needed for the use of the included 10 Seat Structures Software.



TWO-PINNED ARCH
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the important features of a two-pinned arch and to illustrate the use of arches where the footings are hard especially in the horizontal direction.

FIXED ARCH
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the important features of a fixed-arch and to illustrate how a structure applies loading to its surroundings when the footings are very hard in all directions.

EULER BUCKLING OF A COLUMN
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the deflection and stability of struts (slender columns).

CONTINUOUS AND INDETERMINATE BEAM
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the properties of statically indeterminate and continuous beams.

CURVED BARS AND DAVITS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the relationships between load horizontal deflection, vertical deflection and stability in commonly used curved structures and davits and to compare the results with theoretical values.

PLASTIC BENDING OF BEAMS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the practical plastic bending of beams.

PLASTIC BENDING OF PORTALS
An experimental apparatus to provide students with extended investigations into realistic structures including determining the points of failure of a loaded portal frame and also identifying the modes of failure.

REDUNDANT TRUSS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the principles of redundancy and aspects of safety critical structures using determinate and indeterminate framed structures.

FRAME DEFLECTIONS AND REACTIONS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the reactions and deflections of a loaded rectangular portal.

SIMPLE SUSPENSION BRIDGE
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate a simple suspension bridge structure, and measure the cable tension under various loads.

BENDING MOMENTS IN A BEAM
A simply supported beam apparatus to demonstrate and investigate the bending moments and forces within a structure.

BENDING MOMENTS IN A PORTAL FRAME
Allows students to investigate the sway, strains, stresses and therefore bending moments of a horizontally and vertically loaded rectangular portal.

SHEAR FORCE IN A BEAM
A simply supported beam apparatus to demonstrate and investigate the shear forces within a structure by use of a loaded beam designed to move in shear only.

DEFLECTION OF BEAMS AND CANTILEVERS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate deflection and stability of beam and cantilever structures.

BENDING STRESS IN A BEAM
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the stresses and strains within a structure in relation to bending loads.

TORSION OF CIRCULAR SECTIONS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the relationship between torque and deflection in the elastic region of solid sections in various materials and a single tubular section.

UNSYMMETRICAL BENDING AND SHEAR CENTRE
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate deflection and stability within a structure in relation to beams with unsymmetrical sections.

PIN JOINTED FRAMEWORKS
An experimental apparatus to allow students to create a wide selection of pin-jointed frameworks and then investigate the effects resulting from applying loading forces to them.

THREE-PINNED ARCH
An experimental apparatus to allow students to investigate the important features of a three-pinned arch.
