SE 110.21 Experimental Set Forces in a Truss Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description

This set enables the distribution of the forces in various plane trusses to be investigated using the universal test frame SE 111. A useful range of member lengths saves time-consuming adjustment. The members can be quickly and sturdily connected to joint discs using special snap action connectors. For the measurement of the force, all members are equipped with strain gauge bridges. The The measuring amplifier FL 151 is required to display the forces in the members and to further process the measured values on a PC. A set of cables to connect strain gauges and the amplifier is included. The trusses can be loaded using a spindle drive with a ring dynamometer and strain gauge.
