The set is intended for use with the universal test frame SE 111 and demonstrates the elastic deformation of loaded frames. The test specimens are a U-shaped and and S-shaped frame made of steel with a square cross-section. These are subjected to varying loads using sets of weights and the resulting deformation measured. For this purpose, the set includes two precision position measurement gauges. The bearings can be either fixed or free enabling the frames to be evaluated as statically defined or undefined systems. The experimental set-up is quickly and securely assembled using special clamps.
