GUNT system enables detailed investigation of stress and strain distribution in thick-walled cylinders under internal pressure, using strain gauge instrumentation and triaxial analysis.
Product Features
- Designed for examining non-uniform stress distribution in thick-walled pressure vessels
- Oil-filled cylinder composed of two halves and sealed on both ends
- Hydraulic pump used to apply internal pressure, indicated by pressure gauge
- Eccentric groove between cylinder halves houses strain gauges at multiple radial points
- Strain gauges also mounted on inner and outer cylinder surfaces
- Measures radial, hoop, and axial strain for comprehensive triaxial analysis
- Strain signals displayed using a strain gauge amplifier
- Measured data can be imported into software for visualization and evaluation
- Graphical analysis of triaxial stress state using Mohr’s circle
- Direct stresses and strains calculated using elasticity laws
Benefits
- Ideal for advanced mechanical engineering and pressure vessel design training
- Develops understanding of strain behavior in complex cylindrical systems
- Hands-on use of Mohr’s circle and strain gauge measurement techniques
