The GUNT Deformation of Curved Axis Beams trainer is designed to explore the behavior of beams and arches with curved axes under load. It allows detailed investigation of deformation in statically determinate curved beams commonly found in construction and mechanical engineering applications such as crane hooks and chain links.
Product Features
- Distinguishes between beams and arches; arches are statically indeterminate with curved axes and fixed supports producing static arching effects.
- Includes three different beams borne on statically determinate supports: circular beam, semi-circular beam, and quadrant beam.
- Beams have identical cross-sections and second moment of area for direct comparison of test results.
- Beams are loaded with weights to induce deformation.
- Dial gauges record horizontal and vertical deformations of the beams.
- Semi-circular and circular beams are fixed to a support on a pillar; the quadrant beam is clamped into a support block.
- All experiment components are clearly laid out and securely housed in a dedicated storage system.
Benefits
- Enables analysis of deformation behavior in curved axis beams under various load conditions.
- Supports understanding of structural mechanics relevant to arches and curved beams in engineering.
- Identical cross-section beams allow for accurate comparative testing.
- Precise deformation measurement via dial gauges enhances experimental accuracy.
- Organized storage system ensures easy handling and maintenance of components.
