An entry-level digital image correlation (DIC) system to teach students how to measure and visualise surface deformations, strains and displacements in materials and shapes.

A set of carbon composite beams with cored construction. The different composition of the core of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics.

A set of carbon composite beams with varied construction. The different construction of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics.

A set of carbon composite beams with a varied construction along their lengths. The diff erent composition of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics along its length.

A set of carbon composite beams with cored construction. The different composition of the core of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics.

A set of carbon composite beams with varied construction. The different construction of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics.

A set of carbon composite beams with a varied construction along their lengths. The different composition of each beam exhibiting differing bending/stiffness characteristics along its length.

A steel beam with eight half-bridge strain gauges spaced from the centre line, for the examination of strain at different points along a beam for both simply supported and cantilever experiments.

Shows the various modes of buckling (elastic collapse or crippling) of slender compression members.

A bench top frame with load cells and cantilevers for the study of deflection and forces on different types of beams for a wide range of supports and loads; also demonstrates Young's modulus.

A bench mounting apparatus to allow students to investigate the deflections of unsymmetrical cantilevers.
